TerpQuest Summer Camp

01/19/2025

TQ25 Registration opens at 9am on WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 22, 2025

NEW THIS YEAR! Registration will not take place on the RecWell website, INSTEAD, we will be using a third party secure platform called CampDOC. This is the same platform we use to secure medical records for all campers.

A special link has been added to the following web page, www.terpquest.umd.edu.

DO NOT REGISTER unless you know you will be attending, as the refund policy WILL BE STRICTLY ENFORCED. That is, in years past we have been lenient enforcing the refund policy. Since we are using CampDOC, refunds will be issued in accordance with our policy, which can be found on our website.

For more camp information please visit: www.terpquest.umd.edu, or call us after Monday the 20th, at 301-226-5500.

THANKS

Hope everyone is safe after the storm. Due to the impact and damage caused by the recent storm the University of Maryland is closed today, and by extension so is TERP Quest.

The Camp will be CLOSED today, July, 13th. We will post updates about tomorrow as they become available.

Greetings! WOW, thank you everyone for your overwhelming interest in TQ22.

The camp sold out in the first week, with some weeks full within the first four-hours. In our nearly 20-year history that has never happened, usually about 2/3 of the camp is full by March 1st.

Although we do have a Waiting List, it is currently between 25-30 deep for each age group, each week of camp, therefore we have closed the waiting list.

Thank you for your continued support!!

Thank you for your continued interest in TERP Quest at the University of Maryland.

Here is where we stand.

Although we are planning as if TQ will happen, on a modified basis, the University has not made a decision regarding summer programming. A decision should be made no later than April 23, 2021. Please remember not only do we have to consider our own campus protocols, but we are also governed by the PG County Health Department.

If approved TQ will be modified. Campers will be required to have a temperature check and wear PPE’s. Children will be assigned into Pods of 10, and all extra programs such as the CIT program, before & after care and swim/tennis lesson will be cancelled for 2021.

If approved, we would start accepting registrations on or about May 1st.

Our website is up to date, www.terpquest.umd.edu

We will keep you posted.
