Camp Quest
Camp Quest, founded in 1996, is the first residential summer camp in the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, Ireland, and Norway specifically for the children of nontheistic or freethinking parents (including atheists, agnostics, secular humanists, skeptics, rationalists, and others who hold a naturalistic worldview).〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Camp Quest Mission )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Camp Quest of Minnesota )〕 Amanda Metskas is Camp Quest's Executive Director.
==Purpose and identity==
Camp Quest's mission statement declares that the camp is "dedicated to improving the human condition through rational inquiry, critical and creative thinking, scientific method, self-respect, ethics, competency, democracy, free speech, and the separation of religion and government guaranteed by the Constitution of the United States".〔 The camp intended goal is to offer a space where children who are already nonreligious can feel comfortable and accepted.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Frequently Asked Questions about Camp Quest )〕 The UK branch of Camp Quest stated in 2009 that the point of their camp was "not a case of being told '' what'' to think about concepts such as God, just ''how'' to think" about such concepts.
The camp's logo is based on an idea of Edwin Kagin and the original artwork of his daughter, Kathryn. The letters "C" and "Q" are combined into a sort of infinity symbol. The letters "CQ" are usually accompanied by the Morse Code for those letters, CQ being code shorthand for "Does anybody want to talk?". The name Quest is actually an acronym for Question, Understand, Explore, Search, Test. The camp's slogan is, "Camp Quest. It's beyond belief!"〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=History )〕
