Have Kids? Camp Quest UK

[kyrill]

Hi, I thought that people in this forum (especially the ones with kids) might be interested to hear about Camp Quest UK.

 

Camp Quest UK are Britain's premier religion-free science and philosophy camp for kids. Our volunteers are dedicated to providing a “godless alternative” for atheists, agnostics and anyone who is bringing up their children in a non-religious household. We want our campers to have a fun, challenging and inspiring time at summer camp, in the company of their peers; without the need for an allegiance to a particular tradition or ideology.

 

Camp A – Kilve Court, Somerset

 

The first camp will be held from Monday 26th July to Friday 31st July 2010 at Kilve Court in Somerset. This centre will host a variety of activities, and its close proximity to the beach will mean that the children will have the opportunity to go on a fossil walk. This camp is aimed at those who enjoy walking and nature, or perhaps who suffer from a heavy school schedule and are in need of a break. Campers will be staying in cabins.

 

Camp B – Caythorpe Court, Lincolnshire

 

The second camp will be held at a PGL centre, Caythorpe Court in Lincolnshire, from Monday 23rd August to Friday 27th August 2010. Campers will be staying in a Grade II listed manor house, and enjoy access to PGL’s fantastic facilities. This camp would be suitable for those campers who want plenty of activities.

 

This year our theme is "THE MIND". We have many exciting workshops and activities planned to reflect this and we might even have a talk from a special guest. This will take place alongside our usual critical thinking, crafts, drama and adventure sport activities.

 

We accept camper applications from anyone anywhere as long as they are between 9 and 16 years of age, capable of looking after themselves and their own possessions (our counsellors supervise the welfare of every camper but we like our campers to take on new responsibilities) and can respect the opinions of others. If you are travelling from far away we can meet your child in London and take them to and from the camp.

 

We are also trying to raise money to sponsor campers from low-income households.

 

If you think this sounds like something your kids will enjoy or have a question you'd like to ask, send an e-mail to our camp director:
