Adventure Quest
Be the Hero of a Mythic Quest!
Since 1995, Renaissance Adventures has led summer Quests where the kids playact as the heroes of a dynamic and exciting adventure. Participants choose mythic archetypes and powers, band together as a team, solve riddles and dilemmas, and swashbuckle with foes. In small groups of about six children, everyone gets a chance to shine and be the hero of a mythic quest!
In Adventure Quest™, the children and teens become the heroes of an incredibly fun and dynamic quest, working together in a mythical and magical world to overcome interesting challenges, solve mystifying riddles, brainstorm unique solutions to puzzling dilemmas, and swashbuckle with foes. The campers experience the excitement and confidence that comes from banding together to defend their village, solve a perplexing mystery, or negotiate a peace treaty.
Wielding safe foam Swasher swords, the children play dueling games and act out challenges like fending off a bullying ogre or a thieving band of pirates, in an environment that teaches good sportsmanship, fair-play, and respect for others. Then they exercise their minds as they try to piece together the clues in a coded riddle and follow a map to buried treasure. Questers end the program feeling empowered, excited, and full of stories to tell.

Quest & Quill
Creative writing camps have never been so fun!
In the tradition of the ancient Norse Skalds, Quest & Quill encourages creative writing and the oratory arts within an Adventure Quest program. Participants can write about the stories unfolding in their quests, or about their heroic character, or any topic that inspires them.
We focus on the enjoyment of writing, self-expression, and the oratory arts and less on grammar, spelling, and writing style. Each session includes creative writing, Questers reading aloud a short excerpt of their writing, and then—for the bulk of the session—embarking on an outdoor quest. Questers earn powers and treasure for their writing that they can use in any Adventure Quest program.
Stories crafted in Quest & Quill may be submitted for publication in the next Adventure Quest: Stories publication. Adventure Quest: Stories is a collection of lightly-edited short stories submitted by Renaissance Adventures participants and leaders. For previous editions of this series, see our store page.
