Teen Leadership Academy 

Quest Camp is pleased to offer the Teen Leadership Academy to Quest "graduates" and high school students desiring community leadership opportunities. In this program, we select leaders who want opportunities to lead at camp, be a role model, and desire to learn while having fun. Anyone wearing a Quest shirt is a reflection of our Quest team and must demonstrate a high-level of role model behaviors to secure and maintain a space in the Leadership Academy. Entry into this program is based on staff decision regarding readiness. Teens who have not participated successfully in Quest before must complete an interview and provide references.

Also a nutritionist has provided consultation to assist with planning healthy snacks for campers.
