Quest: K - 3
Registration begins on February 1. After that date, click on any "Register Now" button to sign up. Sign your student up for a camp session based on the grade they'll enter in the fall. Note, unless marked as a "Day Camp" all camps are overnight ones.
QUEST CAMP Sessions are designed to introduce campers (K-3rd) to camp with an exciting variety of activities like camp tours, visits with the barn animals, singing cool songs, swimming, making crafts, listening to Bible stories, and playing fun games. The Quest Day Camp in June extends a special invitation to grandparents or grandparent-type figures who would like to spend the day with their Quest day camper. Grandparents/adults simply need to complete a separate registration form with an additional registration fee. Other qualified adults will be leading the camp program. This year each child Quest camper must be accompanied by a registered Grandparent/adult camper.
Quest Overnight Sessions (1st - 3rd grades) pack in even more fun and adventure. Campers spend the night in the lakeside cabins and experience more of what a week of camp feels like. These are great opportunities to introduce young people to all the awesome things THE ARK has to offer!
