Camp Quest of the Smoky Mountains is run and staffed primarily by members of the
Rationalists of East Tennessee, a nonprofit organization
that supports free inquiry and critical thinking about the nature of the universe and human societies, emphasizes
the importance of the scientific method, and explores ethical and intellectual alternatives to supernatural belief
systems. Accordingly, we seek to provide opportunities for like-minded children to have fun, learn, and engage in
humanist fellowship.
Jonas Holdeman, fomer regional youth soccer organizer, heads the camp. Other RET members and area humanists
participate by leading workshops and acting as full- or part-time counsellors. Meals are prepared by the trained
Tremont staff, who also lead wilderness and survival worshops as time permits. Criminal background checks are
performed on all Camp Quest counsellors before they are allowed to interact with children.
We welcome tax-deductible contributions and are happy to consider offers to help out
by being a counsellor or leading a workshop.
