There is a leader inside each of us!

Quest Camps is proud to offer the Quest Leadership Academy.  For Summer 2024, Quest’s Leadership Academy will be a 4-week, in-person program for campers ages 11 to 18.

The Leadership Academy program provides instruction specially designed for accelerated Quest campers and high school students desiring community leadership opportunities!

Empowering Role Models

The Leadership Academy selects leaders who want opportunities to lead, help at camp, be a role model, and desire to learn while having fun.

Our Quest Leaders must demonstrate a high-level of role model behaviors to secure a space in the Leadership Program. 

Uniquely Structured

Our Leadership Academy program is designed to empower Quest campers while specifically tailored to their unique needs, which may be presented by issues such as Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD/ADD), high-functioning Autism (previously Asperger's Disorder), learning disabilities, mood disorders, depression, social anxiety, etc.

* Entry into this program is based on staff decision regarding readiness. Teens who are not previous Quest attendees must complete an interview and possibly provide references.
