Not at all, we welcome all children, including those who come from religious backgrounds. We fully expect that a lot of children simply don’t quite know what they believe just yet (just like many adults!), and we encourage open debate. Our aim is not to get the children to call themselves an “atheist” by the end of camp – rather, we see the camp as part of the children’s ongoing education.

We try encourage the children to explore for themselves what they believe, rather than telling them what is true, or what they should label themselves as.

Both the parents and the children wishing to attend camp should understand that the ethos of Camp Quest is to discuss and question ideas. Our aim is to inspire children to leave with questions and a keen interest in finding the answers.
