Do teenagers need vacations from their parents? You bet. We recommend it.
Okay mom and dad – before you freak out – we know you love your son or daughter and want them around all summer (or at least we hope you do). But letting your teen get away for a week or two by themselves is a good thing. They can have fun – meet new people – and grow and develop as their own person. Not to mention the time they can spend getting to build their faith by hanging out with other teens and counselors who love God.
When you think of a vacation you might have images of lounging by the pool being lazy. Not at Teen Quest. We have more activities than you can shake a stick at to MAKE SURE you never get bored.
Our idea of a vacation is packing every day with fun games, contests, and activities.
If you are a teenager you don’t want to sit around all summer. School is out and your friends are off doing cool things. You don’t want to be left out, do you?
Teen Quest summer camp is the place you as a teenager will love to take a vacation. We don’t let you get bored. It’s impossible not to make friends – have fun – and get a break from the day in and day out of your normal life.
Doing Camps Since 1979
And we’ve been at this a while. Teen Quest has been hosting teenagers and children at fun activity filled adventure camps since 1979. Giving teens a personal summer vacation they will never forget is our specialty. Literally thousands of young people “grow up” each year at Teen Quest camps.
We keep talking about taking a personal teenager vacation. But vacation from what? It’s your vacation from your parents and siblings. Sure – you love your mom – dad – brothers – and sisters… but there comes a time in every teenager’s life when you need to step out and be your own man or woman.
Your parents want this for you just as much as you do. Your parents want to see you grow and develop as a person, have an exciting fun filled week of adventure, deepen your faith in God, and meet other godly leaders and students your age who share your values and belief. What mom or dad wouldn’t want you to take a vacation like that?
And summer camp is a great place to meet new friends. Teenagers come from all over the United States and other countries to attend our camps. So you are sure to meet friends that you will know for a lifetime.
We’ve also had many married couples meet at our camp. (Now don’t worry mom and dad) – We don’t push relationships while you are here. Our summer camp isn’t a dating service. We want you to have fun with a lot of people – both guys and girls – not spend your time one-on-one making googly eyes all day. That would defeat the purpose of getting away to camp and making a bunch of new friends.
But it is a fact that summer camp is a great place to meet that special someone for the future. We have lots of stories of girls meeting guys or guys meeting girls as friends. Then based on that friendship – a few years go by – romance develops. Several campers have even gotten married. Hey it happens. Thought we should let you know.
The reason you won’t have time to make googly eyes is we keep you moving from sun up to sun down with amazing activities – games – contests – events – and fun. We aren’t kidding. There is absolutely NO WAY you can get bored (or get yourself into trouble) while at Teen Quest summer camp. Our counselors are there to make sure you have a fun – safe – and adventure filled week packed with activities.
So what are these activities we keep raving about?
Here’s a list if you’re keeping notes:
- Paintball
- Horseback Riding
- Dune-Buggy Go-Carts
- Mountain Boarding
- Water Tubing on Yough Lake
- Beam rocks bouldering

What Others Have To Say:
Of course we think that Teen Quest Summer Camps are the best. But don’t take our word for it. Here is what parents, youth leaders, and former teen campers have to say:

“Your love for God is obvious, and your enthusiasm to minister to teens is refreshing. What you are able to accomplish with the students of our youth ministry is incredible. Thank you. We look forward so much to next year.”

..“Just a little note to thank you for your obedience to God. Be it summer camp or Snow Camp, all [my] boys have had nothing but positive spiritual growth. My oldest son shared his testimony of salvation during his first attendance to Teen Quest approximately 7 or so years ago. I’m looking forward to many more years of Christ moving experiences not only in my children’s lives, but now my first grandson and future grandchildren God blesses us with.”
~ C. R. H, Parent of 5 boy campers

“Teen Quest got me on the right track. I grew up in a Christian home but I never really dedicated my whole life to Christ like having daily devotions and witnessing. Everyone’s got to come to the Ranch - it’s so much fun! You meet new people – and people who actually care about you.”
~Maura Smith, Camper

How Much Does It Cost?
Other camps can cost over $1000 for one week. We know that this is tough for families to afford . So we’ve packed our week full of activities, fun, adventure and offer it at $319. That covers your overnight stays – all your meals – and activities.
Our camps do sell out and we don’t want you to be left at home while the fun is happening in Somerset this summer.
We are hoping to have enough space to allow everyone who wants to come. But once all the spots are filled we will have to place you on a waiting list. Basically this means that if another teenager is unable to come, a spot will open up for you (usually at the last minute). But there are no guarantees this will happen. And if it does, there are usually other people on the waiting list in front of you. So paying your $49 registration fee now is the only way to ensure that you will be able to come to camp this summer.
To make it even easier – you don’t have to pay the full amount right now.
You can lock in your spot for this summer by simply paying your $49 registration fee now. This will guarantee you will be able to come without having to shell out the entire camp fee up front. We do ask that you pay your balance two weeks before attending your camp week.
So it’s kind of like a layaway program for summer camp. Register now and pay the balance later. Simple right?
We are so excited about having you join us this summer that we have a special early bird rate. If you register before March 31, 2009 the cost of a full week of camp is only $289. That’s a 10% savings for doing nothing more than registering early.
Don’t Miss The Most Exciting Summer Of Your Life.
To recap… you want to take a vacation this summer but you don’t want to be bored. We’ve got you covered on activities and meeting great new friends. All you need to do is get signed up to be here this summer. We’ll take care of the rest.
- Remember that in order to secure your spot and get the early bird special you need to register for summer camp early.
So what are you waiting for? Come up to Teen Quest this summer for the teen vacation of a lifetime.
