Camp Quest Chesapeake 2027

Camp Quest is similar to other traditional sleepaway summer camps, particularly those with a science or nature focus. Where Camp Quest is unique is in presenting its educational programs from a specifically secular and humanist perspective. This means that in addition to our traditional summer camp activities, Camp Quest offers educational activities focused on critical thinking, ethics, scientific inquiry, philosophy, and comparative religion. We explore the world and approach ethics and values from a starting point that’s completely outside of religion, and does not assume theism.

Camp Quest is also particularly geared towards building a community for kids and teens from atheist, agnostic, humanist and other freethinking families. However, Camp Quest is open to all kids and teens within the specified age range, and we work hard to create an environment in which all campers feel welcome. Our goal is to provide a place where campers can explore their developing worldviews and how to put their values into practice, ask questions, and make friends in an environment that is supportive of critical thinking and skepticism.
