Camp Quest, Inc.

Camp Quest supports a growing network of week-long summer camp programs aimed at children and teens from nonreligious families. Our camps provide a mix of traditional summer camp fun plus science, philosophy, and critical thinking activities in an environment designed to foster a sense of community among the youth participants. Join us in fun, friends, and freethought! Our Mission: Camp Quest provides an educational adventure shaped by fun, friends and freethought, featuring science, natural wonder and humanist values. Values we teach: integrity, empathy, creativity, critical thinking, and community. Our Vision: Camp Quest envisions a world in which children grow up exploring, thinking for themselves, 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 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
