Camp Quest

At Camp Trailblazers we foster an atmosphere that is encouraging for every camper. Daily activities include group activities, literacy time, crafts, sports, water games and more! Each week we will go on fun field trips, take a dip in the Forest Park Pool and do it all with a fun weekly theme. Each registered camper will receive a t-shirt to wear on field trip days. Trailblazers should bring lunch, morning and afternoon snacks, water bottles with their name on them, tennis shoes, and sunscreen to camp each day. Please note, before and after care is a separate registration. Camp Trailblazers is a nut-free zone.

This camp is an outdoor based camp with a focus on group games, arts and crafts, and individual and team sports. Each week will have a different theme, and each day will have a routine schedule of activities. Field trips and swimming are all included in the fee and the fun. The children will go on field trips or have in-house entertainment once a week. Each child will receive a t-shirt to be worn on field trip days. Campers are to bring a sack lunch, labeled reusable water bottle, and an afternoon snack. Please note, before and after care is a separate registration. Camp Quest is a nut free zone.
