Camp registration has begun for summer! Grown up Camp in Texas! Volunteer spotlight and thank you to our supporters for helping us hit a major fundraising goal!

Camp Quest’s latest summer sessions across the U.S. featured unique themes like time, music, secret agents, and dystopias. Activities included canyon formation experiments, music creation from recycled materials, spy training, and mock dystopian governments. Campers enjoyed outdoor adventures, critical thinking games, and making lasting memories.

After thirteen years of accumulating supplies and filling up a storage unit, Camp Quest Chesapeake’s theme was chosen to make the most of supplies they already had on hand while teaching campers about consumption, climate change, and creativity. Activities included recycled bottle rockets, a cardboard boat building competition, and instruments made out of recyclable materials.

In a fun-filled car themed week in June, campers enjoyed lower than normal temperatures for Texas as they observed Festivus, constructed cardboard cars, and boogied down at the annual dance! Camp Quest Texas has a vibrant culture that includes singing, skits, and chants, with a special dinner song that adds to the sense of identity and pride among campers and staff.

Learn about the exciting initiatives we have in store, including a youth-centered counselor training video created by older campers and a photo contest that captures the essence of fun and friendship at our camps. Explore an extensive library of games and resources designed to keep all kids engaged. Find out how to incorporate shy campers and create an environment of inclusion.
