Seattle Atheists will be teaming up with Camp Quest Northwest for a fabulous party. Camp Quest provides summer camps for kids that teach critical thinking skills in a secular environment. Our friends from Camp Quest will be providing childcare for kids 5 and up with donations benefiting this great organization. They will give the kids a “taste” of Camp Quest that is sure to make them want sign up for a week this summer.
The suggested donation of $10/ kid for the Taste of Camp Quest will help support Camp Quest to recruit and train counsellors and to subsidize camp costs for low income families. Please register your children for the camp quest room in advance here: https://campquest.wufoo.com/forms/darwin-day-2015/
For the toddlers in attendance we will be joined for a reading of Jonathan Tweet’s children’s book about evolution Grandmother Fish and have some fun with an evolution dance, as well as crafts and toys.
This year’s key note speech will be delivered by Joseph Lorenzo from the Department of Anthropology & Museum Studies at Central Washington University where he established the Molecular Anthropology Laboratory. This interesting talk will be titled Ancient Hominines and Ancient DNA: What New Technology Is Telling Us About Our Past.
We will have snacks and cake but would like to encourage people to bring a pot-luck dish to share.
See you there!
