Death Valley Atheist Adventure
Grab your family, friends, and tents for an unforgettable camping adventure in the largest national park in the continental United States.
Known for its excruciating summer heat and colorful spring blooms, Death Valley is one of the sunniest spots on planet Earth and offers outstanding views of the Milky Way on a clear, moonless night. Death Valley is also a hiker’s paradise with an eclectic mix of slot canyons, salt flats, sand dunes, and colorful rock formations.
All atheist adventures include a pre-planning sight-seeing itinerary you’re welcome to join along with a Saturday evening science talk under the stars.
Tickets available soon. Limited availability.
Tickets do not include meals or park fees. Everyone is responsible for their own camping gear (tents, lights, coolers, etc.).
