Chris Lindstrom
is a software engineer by day and uses her superpowers for good
during her off hours organizing Camp Quest West. She has been
involved in the Freethought movement for over 10 years, organizing
meetings, letter writing campaigns, protests, rallies, dialogs and
more. She served on the board of the Silicon Valley's Humanist
Community for three years and is passionate about making non-belief
a "mainstream" viable alternative.
She was talked
into recruiting volunteers to start Camp Quest on the west coast
because she thinks many of the world's problems could be solved if
we did a better job of teaching youngsters to think critically for
themselves. She is working with the others on the team to transition
Camp Quest West from a small and scrappy volunteer organization to a
solid institution that will outlive us all.

Sean Laney
Program Director
email:
Sean C. Laney is an entrepreneur and single
father. He spreads his working time between running a real
estate/land development company (yes, it hurts right now) and a
limousine/entertainment company (likewise), with a little left over
to look for new opportunities in a variety of areas. He is a proud
father of 3, and homeschools the 2 older kids (alumni of Camp Quest
West). He has been an atheist and freethinker most of his life,
having been lucky enough not to be religiously indoctrinated as a
young child.
Possessed of chronic insufficient reluctance to
volunteer, he was roped into becoming the archery instructor last
year by our charismatic organizer, Chris Lindstrom. Like our
fearless leader, he shares the view that teaching children critical
thinking is an important key to a brighter future. In furtherance of
such, he has volunteered once again to help as the Program Director
of Camp Quest West
