Choosing Christ-like
Manhood
3-week Summer program for young men
July 14 – August 1, 2025
Young men Age 14-17
Location: Big Sandy, TX
The primary purpose of Quest is to inspire young men to choose Christ-like manhood. Each aspect of the activities and program schedule is purposefully designed to reinforce this goal. Quest staff strives to teach students the various aspects of Christ-like manhood through Biblical preaching, useful life skills, sports and recreation, and shared hardships that will equip and encourage them to embrace Biblical manhood in a culture that rejects it.
Daily Life
The schedule at Quest is designed to give students a sense of structure and to enable them to learn many essential lifestyle lessons. Daily PT, personal devotions, and the cleaning of living spaces teach students about personal discipline, self-control, and attention to detail. Practical classes help them learn valuable skills and practice punctuality. Finally, a healthy dose of sports and recreation keeps every day engaging and fills out the packed daily schedule.
Classes
The classes at Quest are intended to give young men basic proficiency in various life skills such as basic auto repair, home maintenance, first aid, financial literacy, and more. There is some variety in what we teach from year to year as the availability of each class depends on our instructors’ schedules.
