CREATE. EXPLORE. GROW.

KidsQuest Camps Sessions 1-4 (Drop-in weeks 1-8) are at Drew University.

KIDSQUEST (Sessions 1-4)**
8 AM - 5 PM for students entering Kindergarten-Grade 5
At Drew University

KidsQuest is a traditional outdoor day camp located at Drew University, offering a full day of engaging activities designed to keep campers active and inspired.  In small, age-based groups, campers learn and practice the Y’s four core values: Caring, Honesty, Respect, and Responsibility, while building confidence, learning new skills, and forming lasting friendships. Daily activities include STEAM projects, team building, and both traditional and non-traditional camp games that encourage creativity and collaboration.  Each Friday, campers celebrate with a camp-wide theme day, filled with exciting and interactive activities. Through daily swim lessons and recreational swim time, campers gain courage and confidence as they develop lifelong swimming skills.*

2026 KidsQuest Trips Schedule for Sessions 1-4 is coming soon!

 

*Water play will be substituted in the event of unexpected pool closure.
**No camp on Friday, July 3.

PLEASE READ BEFORE REGISTERING:

To avoid duplicate charges of the one-time camp registration fee for all multi-camp or mixed camp registrations (i.e., KidsQuest, SpecialtyQuest, and TravelQuest), registration must be processed through Camp Administration. Separate online registrations (i.e., SpecialtyQuest Sports for Session 1 and SpecialtyQuest Fine Arts for Session 2) are treated as individual enrollments and will result in additional charges. Our Camp Admin team is happy to help ensure your registration is completed correctly and efficiently.

Please note: Multiple registration fees charged as a result of not registering through Camp Administration cannot be refunded or credited. To ensure fees are applied correctly and to avoid unnecessary charges, families should contact Camp Admin BEFORE completing registration. Contact us at QuestCamps@madisonymca.org.
