Quest is a get-a-way retreat in the north woods of Wisconsin that will provide spiritual enrichment, and at the same time fellowship and recreation, in a controlled Christian environment. Wether a peaceful retreat suits you, or tubing on the white water falls of Robinson Creek, or competing on the ball fields, or hiking through beautiful forest trails, or so much more, this session could be for you.
Quest is three full days and two partial days of relaxation, fun and spiritual enlightenment. There will be programs for everyone and we will try to custom design them to meet the desires of our campers.
The cost is very low and many will be called on to help with programs, classes and some kitchen duty. Meals will be provided from Tuesday evening dinner, through breakfast Saturday morning.

2012 theme
The 2012 theme and speaker is still a work in progress. It will be posted here when ready.
In recent years Quest has had two speakers for the adult classes. One for English speaking people and one for Spanish speaking people. Because our numbers have grown beyond what the kitchen can accommodate we are dividing Quest into two sessions this year. The Spanish session will be June 8 - 10 followed by the English session 12 - 16.
June 12 - 16, 2012
