Get Ready for Camp

Terp Questers participate in a variety of activities like playing games, climbing on the rock wall, or heading to the pool to cool off. We utilize mutiple spaces within the Eppley Recreation Center, are often found out and about on-campus, and walk to all of our destinations. Stay in the know and prepare in advance so your camper is ready to take on the day! 

Drop Off:  8:00am-8:30am

Camp hours: 8:45am - 4:30pm

Pick Up: 4:30pm - 5:00pm

Please follow the driving directions provided here. We strongly suggest all families drive the route to the Terp Quest Drop-Off/Pick-Up site prior to the first day for which their child is registered. This may also relieve the natural anxiety children sometimes experience in attending a new camp.
