Summit is a two-day medieval simulation-style day camp for 8-12 year-olds. Led by the trained Youth Leaders of Hero Quest and staffed by Adult Volunteers, Summit allows children to become Knights and Handmaidens in the medieval nations of Christathel (for girls) and Terra Libre (for boys), where they learn to use their unique gifts, talents, and abilities to solve problems together as they face adversity from the opposition forces of the Shadowlands and Geldt. The event culminates in an epic Final Battle (with foam swords and arrows), followed by a ceremonial celebration. Summit participants do not need to be enrolled in our Crowned with Virtue or Mastering Knighthood clubs to participate.  As our event is completely staffed by volunteers, we ask that each attendee provide at least one adult volunteer to help with the event, either in the important Final Battle as opposition (formerly called villains), or before or throughout the event as a staff volunteer. To find out more see our Volunteer page or our Join the Final Battle page.

Each year an overarching Theme or Principle is chosen that guides the experiences in the Heroic Youth program. This year's theme is: Redemption. Summit is most effective when combined with our club programs though it is not required to register. In our Mastering Knighthood and Crowned with Virtue clubs, children 8-12 years old learn this principle by reading about men and women who embodied and lived it.

Registration opens May 2nd at 10am MDT on our website until full.  If registration is sold out, a wait list will be linked on the homepage for a short time after.  You must be on the wait list in order to fill any open spots that come up from cancellations.  Registrations are NOT transferable.
