Ark Encounter

Stop by Mt. Olivet Christian Church on the dates below to apply for a seasonal job, be interviewed, and potentially get offered a position—all in the same day!

Going vertical! How exciting to see the steel structure going up for our new Welcome Center and Jerusalem Model building at the Ark Encounter! So much fun! More updates to come!

We added two giant anteaters to the collection almost two weeks ago! This is Quinn, she will move to the Creation Museum once renovations are completed this summer. Quinn and Douglas (who will remain at the Ararat Ridge Zoo at the Ark) are fantastic additions and are already serving as ambassadors for giant anteaters in the wild! They are incredibly designed. Fun fact: giant anteaters don’t have teeth, they use their tongue to slurp up ants! We have fulltime keeper openings at both locations working with animals like the giant anteaters! https://lnkd.in/gYguJTvW https://lnkd.in/g3DqAPQN

The Eden Zoo renovation is getting so close to the finish line. All the signage is proofed and ready to print, the animals are mostly acquired, murals are ready to be painted, fencing is going in….so many teams are working on this project. It’s going to be amazing when it opens this summer! We still have some openings for zookeepers at the Eden Zoo at the Creation Museum. There are some fun species being added, so if you want to work with a diverse collection of animals apply today! https://lnkd.in/g3DqAPQN

So many fun projects going on at our Ark Encounter and Creation Museum Attractions Design Studio right now! Protoceratops exhibit, huge scale model diorama of first century Jerusalem, themed props (such as a chariot) for our new Welcome Center, and beautiful signage for our new Eden Teaching Center, to name a few!

A lizard on a surf board?!? Our Animal Programs team at Ark Encounters Ararat Ridge Zoo is well into rehearsals for a new animal encounter debuting this spring! We currently have seasonal positions available on our animal programs team for those passionate about animal training and sharing the gospel and animals with our guests! 🦎🦉🐍🦜🦘 https://lnkd.in/g3j2EuCs

We had the staff picnic for the hundreds of Answers in Genesis employees and their families Sunday afternoon. In addition to the Highland games that teams participated in during the event, there was also a baking contest, bounce houses for the kids, great food, and great fellowship. We love our AiG staff and families!

For those who would love to work in a Christian organization like Answers in Genesis, Ark Encounter, and Creation Museum, we will soon be opening up times for interviews for seasonal positions. These will take place in June for both the Ark and Creation Museum. This is a great opportunity for people like college students (and others) to take a summer job. We have some housing available onsite. And we have many other positions available across the ministry in various departments (including teaching positions for our Answers Academy K-12 Christian school). Apply online for all of these: AnswersinGenesis.org/jobs Interview times for the seasonal positions: •Creation Museum: Tuesday, June 4, 2024 •Ark Encounter: Thursday, June 13, 2024 For more information about when and where the interviews will happen and to see the current job openings, please visit: •Ark Encounter: ArkEncounter.com/jobs •Creation Museum: CreationMuseum.org/jobs The photos are from just a few of the departments that need staff.

The Answers in Genesis exhibit artist team (that builds exhibits for the Ark Encounter and Creation Museum) is now creating digital scale models of all the residential buildings for the massive indoor Jerusalem model to be exhibited in the Jerusalem building under construction at the Ark Encounter attraction. Our artists will need to produce around 6,000 residential buildings for this massive first-century Jerusalem model. The model will measure approximately 60’x40’ and will be the most up-to-date reconstruction of Jerusalem. It is being built in a way that will allow it to remain current (with removable tiles that can be updated) as new excavations happen in Jerusalem, so it will have a long life of relevance to those who want to experience Jerusalem during the time of Jesus. It will be used as an evangelistic tool. This will be an attraction in itself and is slated to be opened early 2026. The first phase of this large construction project is the new Welcome Center and shuttle bus dropoff that will open early 2025. Want to join this amazing team? Visit https://lnkd.in/gK-hrkky
