| Who Came Up With This Great Idea Anyway?
Mark Hoge, the founder of Renaissance Adventures, has been
leading storytelling, acting, dance, outdoor games, nature activities, swordmanship and interactive quests
with children and teens since 1981. As a child and teen, Mark attended creative arts camps, with his mother
and grand-mother. Mark began leadership training with the Boy Scouts and as an Eagle Scout. In the eighties
he spent eight full summers teaching at summer camps. He has directed full-length summer camps every year since
1990, and has led Adventure Quest classes in public and private schools since the beginning of 1995. Extensive
experience in psychology, improvisational theater and storytelling, hand-in-hand with a passion to discover ways
to engage and empower children, has given birth to the unique and effective teaching tool of Adventure Quest.
Mark has brought together a fine staff of teachers with whom he has co-created the high-quality innovative company
that Renaissance Adventures is today.
