After School Program
While effective alone, the Quest Afterschool Program offers an opportunity for campers to continue their progress and structure from the Summer Program throughout the school year. With the strains of homework and other activities, Quest provides a time for children to strengthen the critical skills associated with emotional and social intelligence. Quest’s Afterschool Program consists of three 10-week sessions each school year. Children and adolescents attend the afterschool program once a week for two hours (from 4:00-6:00 p.m.) and are grouped based on age and ability.

Summer Camp
Quest’s intensive summer program runs from 9:00 AM to 3:30 PM daily for six-seven weeks, five days per week. Each child participates in a small group of 12-18 campers and is guided by two or three of our excellent Quest Counselors. All campers must attend a minimum of three weeks in a row but many stay for the entire summer. A typical morning consists of two hour-long activities and one group therapy session. On every day other than Friday, campers bring their own lunches and eat with their assigned groups. After lunch, campers may swim, participate in supervised activities, or engage in “Quests” – extended time periods for specialized interests and may include sports, music, science, drama, art and journalism. On Fridays, on alternating weeks, campers attend either a field trip or a “Fabulous Friday” that include special all-camp activities and provided lunches.

Group Therapy
Effective Small Group Therapy: In addition to the structured behavioral milieu and typical camp activities, Quest campers receive group therapy with a professional therapist or psychologist at least four times a week. During these sessions, Quest professional staff develop and evaluate campers’ individualized treatment plans, use methods to confront interpersonal issues as they arise, and address campers’ emotional and social reasoning skills. Quest therapeutic strategies have been uniquely developed to address the social, emotional, and cognitive skills that Quest campers need to be successful in their homes, at school, and among their peers.
