 Camp
Quest West is affiliated with National Camp Quest (Ohio), the first
secular summer camp for youth in the history of the United States. Camp
Quest was specifically designed for children of agnostics, atheists,
freethinkers, humanists, and others who hold a naturalistic world view.
Our campers are girls and boys ages 7-17.
Camp Quest Purpose
- Promote among the youth participants a sense
of belonging to a large freethought community.
- Encourage critical thinking to enable the
young people to draw their own conclusions based on good evidence.
- Promote respect for others even though they
may have different viewpoints, values, and beliefs.
- Provide a safe and fun environment for
personal and social development.
