What makes Quest Colorado unique?
Intentional Community
Purposely limiting group size allows for deeper relationships with counselors and other campers in each cabin. As they begin to share and learn from each other, campers learn the design and purpose of the body of Christ, continuing to build off the foundations of Morph and Quest.
Inductive Bible Study
Led by hand-selected counselors, campers participate in inductive Bible study where they learn and practice observing, interpreting, and applying the Bible for themselves.
Service Projects
Campers learn how to serve with excellence in every aspect of life even in seemingly menial tasks. Building off the same service goals introduced in Quest, these incoming high school sophomores serve Family Camp families in a unique environment. Campers learn how to put their faith into action by creating a fun and loving atmosphere for others to experience and enjoy.
Upon completion, each camper receives a reference letter from Sky Ranch, which can be used for school service requirements and college/scholarship applications.
Quest CO Facilities
Quest Colorado is a 7-day adventure to Sky Ranch Horn Creek, near Westcliffe, Colorado. Quest Colorado campers will get to experience the thrills of mountain-view ziplines, alpine swing, lodge-style recreation center, multi-lane bowling alley, indoor rock wall, full-court wood basketball floor, snack shop, and more!
From Texas to Colorado
Campers are dropped off at our main site in Van, Texas, and will board buses on Sunday evening after dinner to head to the mountains. There’s nothing like a lengthy bus ride to tear down walls and build bonds that will last a lifetime!
Once at our Horn Creek site, campers experience all the traditional fun of summer camp, activities indigenous to the mountains, and in-depth Bible study with Godly role model counselors.
Campers return to Texas Saturday morning for closing ceremonies.
Activities
There's never a dull moment at Sky Ranch.
Bible Study
Sky Ranch’s biblically-based study curriculum answers one of the annually rotating worldview questions:
- Who is God? (The character and nature of God)
- What is our need? (The person and work of Jesus)
- Who are you? (The body of Christ)
- What is Truth? (The Word of God)
Each program will tackle these 4 questions from the Life Map meant to intentionally challenge and encourage our campers where they are at developmentally. By moving through them every four years, campers work through these questions in the different stages of childhood – developing and deepening in their understanding as they mature.
Campfire
Gather around the campfire with friends to roast marshmallows, share stories, and laugh.
Ziplines
Speed down our multi-line ziplines with your friends. A high-flying adventure you'll never forget!
Gaga Ball
The more players the better! Dubbed a kinder, gentler version of dodge ball, Gaga Ball is played with a kickball, and combines the skills of dodging, striking, running, and jumping, while trying to hit opponents below the knees. Players need to keep moving to avoid getting hit by the ball. Fun and easy, everyone gets a serious workout.
