February 2025 Newsletter
Camp Quest recently hosted a Radio Weekend, where youth and adults dove into the world of amateur radio. From hands-on experiences with ham radio to a field trip to KTQA studio, campers learned everything from broadcasting to creating their own radio dramas. Volunteers, including some who were studying for their technician and general licenses, contributed to the event’s success. Plus, there’s new swag in the works for Summit 2024, and camp registration is now open for summer 2025! Donations to the Campership Fund are also being encouraged to ensure all kids have the chance to attend camp, regardless of financial situation.
Check out the full update and exciting new designs, plus upcoming events!
