Camp Quest is the first residential summer camp specifically for children whose parents embrace a naturalistic rather than supernatural world view. We offer a “godless alternative” for atheists, agnostics and anyone who is bringing up their children in a non-religious household. We want our campers to have a fun, challenging and inspiring time at summer camp, in the company of their peers; without the need for an allegiance to a particular tradition or ideology.

Camp Quest’s purpose is to build a strong, healthy community among the young participants aged 8-17. In addition to fun camp activities such as swimming, canoeing, fishing, archery, campfires, stargazing and outdoor sports. Camp Quest’s counsellors and guest volunteers will lead learning activities that promote science, free thought, critical thinking and philisophical principles.

Our Purpose

• Promote a sense of belonging to a large freethought community among campers and staff
• Encourage critical thinking in young people to enable them to draw their own conclusions
• Promote respect for others with different viewpoints, values, and beliefs
• Provide a safe and fun environment for personal and social development
