Staff Philosophy

A well trained, enthusiastic staff is the key to a positive camping experience for your child. We evaluate staff by their maturity, strong values, enthusiasm, and ability to be positive role models for youth. All staff members undergo extensive training before the camp season, emphasizing safety, mentor development and so much more.

Potter's Ranch is the facility and staff that makes up Kids & Teen Quest, which is a full time, all year round Wilderness Retreat that accommodates thousands of guests every year, with particular care for Special Needs, Mental Illness, Wounded Veterans, and more. We are certified, and for several programs a training facility for the many activities we do at Quest Camp. (Camp Infinity & Conservation Camp has additional staffing & programs of their own; we work together for the Quest Camp Schedule)

In addition to the full time staff at Potter's Ranch, we also have certified & highly skilled speech therapists, educators, and counselors that are hired just for Kids & Teen Quest who go through our extensive and high standard interview process, looking for individuals who specialize in the required fields like Orton-Gillingham, 1-on-1 tutoring, child nurturing, and teaching experience.

There is even opportunity for our campers who have gone through our Leaders-In-Training program to become Junior Counselors for day camp when they graduate our program and turn 16, eventually earning the chance to become full counselors when they become adults.
