Camp Inquiry introduces children to the principles of humanism. In addition to Camp Quest, there also is Camp Inquiry. Sponsored annually by the Institute at the Center for Inquiry and located at the sprawling and picturesque Camp Seven Hills in Holland, NY, Camp Inquiry promotes secular humanism through collaborative engagement in science, skepticism, and the creative arts. Children and teens from across the nation spend a week of exploration, imagination, and critical thinking. Camp Inquiry integrates the elements of a memorable camp experience for kids—roasted marshmallows, pillow fights, and new friendships—with the tenets of secular humanism, including ethical choice-making, taking naturalistic approaches to garnering knowledge, tapping into our boundless imaginations, and applying science and reason to human quests and dilemmas. It is a place for children to think, question, and grow. You can learn more about Camp Inquiry at www.campinquiry.org
