Quest II

Quest 2 consists of two weeks of fun and exhilarating training at Rainbow Lake.

After the two weeks of training it is possible to return, as an intern, for camp sessions at Garratt's Island and/or Rainbow Lake. As interns, they will have similar responsibilities as a Camp Trillium Volunteer and will receive ongoing support from the Quest 2 Directors. They will be matched with camper special friends and assist in all aspects of camp life. Quest 2 participants will arrange their interning schedule with the Quest Directors after the successful completion of the Quest 2 training.
To apply for the Quest 2 program please contact the office in January to set up an interview and to receive an application. Because Interns will be in a position of trust with campers, all applicants will have an interview to determine if they are a good match for the Quest 2 program. In addition, you will need to fill out a summer registration/medical form and return it to the office by the summer deadline. Late registrations will be accepted if there is still room in the program.
