Having participated in similar programs for several decades, I can assure anyone considering Quest that you are contemplating a life-transforming experience. 

Quest has an exceptional combination of goals and activities to facilitate personal growth, housed in the most idyllic open wilderness spaces in the northeast.

I have seen, firsthand, students participate in this experience and return to campus more confident in themselves, more willing to try things they previously did not believe they could do, and surrounded by an incredibly powerful support system of other first-year students and upper-class peer leaders. With the rarest of expectations, Quest participants will learn to put greater trust in themselves and others and will come to understand one of life’s most critical lessons-that none of us makes it safely down the road alone.

Quest will change your life in ways you cannot believe possible.  I look forward to meeting our Quest participants this summer in some of the most stunning parks in North America.
