About this event

February 26-28, 2027

Gatlinburg, TN

The Smoky Mountain Creation Retreat is in our 12th year, and we are excited to share this special weekend with creationists like YOU! Our creation retreats let families, students, scholars, and creationists from all walks of life wrestle with the most challenging questions in a safe, supportive space.

Our guests will be Dr. Hans Madueme and Paul Garner, but we'll announce the topic in the coming days! Stay tuned; you will not want to miss this retreat! 

This event is held in the quiet seclusion of the Smokies, creating an intimate setting for creationists to ask hard questions and engage in discussion with accomplished creationist scholars and scientists. Our new location adjoins the Smoky Mountain National Park, and we’ll have an opportunity to hike right into the park after lunch on Saturday. It’s a glorious way to experience God’s majestic creation. The mountains are calling!

Speakers: Todd Wood (Core Academy of Science), Hans Madueme (Covenant College), Paul Garner (Biblical Creation Trust)

Each Session will consist of a combination of presentation and discussion. All of our retreats are informal. Questions can be asked at any time, and discussion is encouraged. Professors, please bring your students. This is the place to ask the most challenging questions.

Parents, this is an incredible opportunity to introduce your students to the intersection of Science and Faith. This event has built community successfully for the last 12 years. We're excited to expand to families and help grow the next generation of Christ-following scientific researchers. 

**Educators, if you bring three students, we will happily offer the student rate! We want to fill our cabin this year, and Educators are vital to reaching this goal.**

We can accomodate large groups and family units; please email us at info@coresci.org with any special accommodations!

Core Academy of Science is a 501(c)(3) ministry located in Dayton, TN. We look forward to spending this weekend with you!
