Best Summer Ever!
At Terp Quest, the focus is on FUN. We get outside, go swimming, play games, and explore new activities every day. We are a traditional summer day camp focused on introducing your child to varied recreational and educational experiences in a fun and safe environment.
Come Explore With Us
Terp Quest Day Camp and Terp Quest Adventure Camp are recreational camps managed by University Recreation & Wellness, based in the Eppley Recreation Center, open to all rising 1st through rising 7th grade campers.
Camp weeks include a wide variety of activities in top notch facilities with the highest quality staff. No two days at Terp Quest are ever alike, and our campers (& staff) return year after year to try new games & activities, to participate in entertaining & educational encounters, and to see the University of Maryland campus in a whole new light. Every week, campers participate in swimming (or other fun pool activities), active and passive games, arts and crafts, climbing, and more. Every Friday at TQ Day Camp we will host a special guest (i.e. magician) or take an on-campus field trip (i.e. bowling alley).
Introducing Terp Quest Adventure!

Whether climbing to new heights, practicing paddleboard yoga, or engaging with nature artistically, Terp Quest Adventure gives campers the opportunity to explore uncharted territory and challenge themselves in a fun and safe environment – all on campus in UMD facilities.
