Camp Quest

On August 11, 1996, the first camp took place in premises owned by Bullittsburg Baptist Church in Boone County, Kentucky, with 20 children attending from five states.

At their request, then-Kentucky Representative Tom Kerr sponsored legislation (House Bill 70) exempting religious organizations from anti-discrimination requirements of public accommodation laws.

Edwin and Helen Kagin continued as co-directors of the original Camp Quest based in Ohio until their retirement in 2005.

[13][14] The first UK camp was supported by a grant from the Richard Dawkins Foundation for Reason and Science, and was held in Somerset.

[3] Campers are also encouraged to explore mythology and philosophy,[20] including discussing ethics in a camp version of Socrates Cafe.

[29] During Camp Quest attendees are tasked with the invisible unicorn challenge, aimed at showing that a negative cannot be proven.

Any camper who can prove that the unicorns do not exist will win a godless one-hundred dollar bill (issued before 1957, the year the U.S. Congress mandated that "In God We Trust" be printed on American fiat currency).
