Quest Camp Counselors are unique because they all have demonstrated a dedication to improving the lives of children. All Quest Counselors must be either attending, or have graduated from, college and we often look to staff applicants who have – at the minimum – completed their sophomore year of college. Staff members are hired based on their personal qualities, experience with children, and their college education.
All counselors are subject to background checks and must comply with American Camping Association standards.
Many Quest Counselors are studying/have studied psychology and/or child development and several of our counselors have gone on to careers in psychology, counseling, and education.
