Quuest is a Unitarian Universalist summer camp emersion experience for youth from rising 9th grade to 12th grade graduates. This years theme is A Quuest for Faith. The youth will be spending time exploring the meaning of faith, how it manifests, and ways to be faithful as a Unitarian Universalist.
At Quuest, youth learn about community, spirituality, justice, equality, and also have a ton of fun! Quuest Camp is based upon basic 4 pillars. After attending the youth will be able to:
- Articulate beliefs grounded in UU theology and values;
- Develop spiritual discipline;
- Engage in social change rooted firmly in faith, love, and trust; AND
- Build personal and religious resilience.
These attributes will take hold through workshops and emersion experiences aimed at exploring a faith centered life, through time for personal reflection and developing spiritual practice, through fun activities like field games, crafts, hikes, swimming, and bonfires, through a Wilderness Counsel, where youth share statements of faith and insight, through optional off site adventures (e.g. horse riding/hiking), by engaging in worship via daily services, interfaith events, and walking the Labyrinth, and through integrated leadership development training, mentoring and modeling, to mention just a few!
Come change your life forever...for the better!
