Child’s Play: Camp Quest and the Future of Secularism

http://photos4.meetupstatic.com/photos/event/b/3/b/2/600_326026002.jpeg

Camp Quest is a national organization whose local affiliates provide week-long summer camp programs to children in secular families. With over a dozen locations throughout the United States, including two in California, they are the only national organization that is focused on the children of the secular movement.

David Diskin, president of Camp Quest West (California), will present an overview of Camp Quest West and their weeklong program that combines traditional outdoor All-American fun with interactive science activities that help kids become familiar with skepticism, the scientific method, and Humanist philosophies. David will show off photos and video from prior years, and help our guests understand why programs like Camp Quest, the Secular Student Alliance, and others are so important to the future of secularism

Bring your checkbook! There will be prizes for donors.
