Welcome to Camp Quest Chesapeake!

Camp Quest Chesapeake is part of Camp Quest, Inc., a network of coed residential summer camps based on humanist values. Campers put their science and critical thinking skills to the test to examine the natural world, collaborate on team challenges, and explore their developing worldviews from a secular perspective.

Camp Quest is open to campers from all backgrounds. We encourage campers to think for themselves, be comfortable with who they are, and engage respectfully with people who have different views.

Fun, friends, and freethought in a camp that's beyond belief!

Keep up with our activities by signing up for our newsletter (sent once every 1-3 months).

Please note that we have reached capacity for 2013 and registration is now closed. You might consider registering your camper at Camp Quest Ohio, which is the nearest Camp Quest to CQC.
