About
Our Mission
To provide a camp adventure shaped by fun, friends, and freethought, where kids can explore, ask questions, and build connections in an inclusive environment.
Our Vision
Camp Quest envisions a world in which individuals grow up thinking independently, connecting with their communities, and acting to make the most of life for themselves and others.
Our Goals
- Develop supportive communities for freethinking families
- Foster curiosity, scientific inquiry, and critical thinking in young people to enable them to draw their own conclusions
- Cultivate reason and empathy as foundations of an ethical, productive and fulfilling life
- Provide a safe and fun environment for personal and social growth
- Encourage environmental stewardship and exploration of the natural world
- Promote open dialogue that is marked by challenging each other’s ideas while treating each other with respect
- Raise awareness of positive contributions made by atheists, agnostics, humanists, freethinkers, and other nontheistic people to our society
- Demonstrate atheism and humanism as positive, family-friendly worldviews
