The Fall Diocesan Youth Offering

Open to all 6th-12th Graders

 Fall Quest will be October 24-26, 2025, at Cathedral Ridge.

Be who you truly are, so the people who are looking for you can find you. It's a powerful concept, but how do you go about being who you truly are? Humans (especially teenagers!) are constantly changing. We are influenced by who social media says we should be, who our parents would like us to be, and who our peer groups say we need to be. Between who we think we are, who we long to be, and who we have potential to be, being our true selves can be extremely difficult!  Join us at Cathedral Ridge for Quest, October 24-26, as we discover what it means to be intentionally shaped by Jesus' love and how that love has the power to help us be Self-aware, Honest, Authentic, Present, Empowered Disciples. Living as your authentic, true self in a world that makes authenticity difficult is a valuable and vital skill. Through moving speeches from youth on the Youth Council, to dancing to worship music with our band, and building genuine community, we will discover our original designs and see what it means to be intentionally shaped from the inside out by the love of Jesus.

Fall Quest

What is Quest

Quest was born out of the youth desire to have a retreat that was for all the 6th-12th graders in the state. They wanted to come together to talk about how faith fits into the everyday realities of being a young person, they wanted themes that were deeper and a safe place where they could really ask questions and own their faith for themselves, they wanted a retreat to be planned and run by their peers, and most importantly, they wanted to be able to go as many times as they could between entering middle school and graduating high school. They truly wanted to "Quest" for their faith with their peers, knowing that a one-time retreat wasn't going to cut it. Over the last decade, Quest grew to staggering numbers (in the 200s!), survived a pandemic and rehoming, and has now found its newest identity quite nicely as a smaller (capped at 100) retreat at our ver own Camp and Retreat Center- Cathedral Ridge.

Youth arrive for Quest Friday evening, meeting at Cathedral Ridge after dinner, allowing students and chaperones to attend school/work. Over the weekend, youth will attend 4 sessions where they will worship with a great band and hear from youth on the design team as they dive into the retreat's theme. After the sessions, youth have various opportunities to discuss and digest what they just learned. There is also time for crafts, outdoor games, free time, and large group play as a whole camp. The retreat concludes with Eucharist together on Sunday morning. We have found that the combination of worship, play, lessons, and discussion allows the youth the explore the themes deeply and allows them to build faith that is truly their own, not just a recreation of their priest, their youth leader, or their parents' faith.

Why Attend Quest?

Quest is a wonderful way to help youth group bond after youth settle into regular meetings in the fall. It also serves as a great opportunity to meet and interact with youth from around the state, which is especially important if your church doesn't have a regular youth group or if you meet less often. Large retreats and the chance to wrestle with faith with peers from all over Colorado is a vital part of young peoples' faith journey and helps fill out the important work being done at the parish and individual level.

Who Plans Quest?

Quest is planned by students on the Youth Council for the Episcopal Church in Colorado (YOCO). These youth meet multiple times over the preceding two months to plan every aspect of the retreat. These same youth then run the retreat and are the speakers for the event. They have full ownership of the retreat, making it truly youth-planned and led.
