Choose your Quest, find your fun!
Island Quest offers an innovative approach to choice-based experiences that allows our campers to choose their “Quest” (area of focus) each week. We offer three core Quests – Seek, Compete, and Innovate, each encouraging campers to dream big, seek solutions, and discover their true self. Whether you want to fly across a zipline, make the game winning assist, or turn your recycled art into a robot, you can design a path that’s perfect for you! Every experience is unique. Every day is something new. Every adventure shapes your future. To learn more about each Quest and our program, click here.
