Pacific Quest and Pacific Rise have helped me grow not only intellectually, but socially as well. It has challenged me to think deeper and to really enjoy learning. We learn science not only in the lab and classroom but also outdoors where we can obtain practical life skills. The counselors and teachers are incredible and I have made so many life-long friends there. The program includes amazing activities where we can all hangout and have fun together. Having morning worships as a group has helped me remember to make Jesus my first priority in my life. I have gone to Pacific Quest and Pacific Rise in a total of five years and I have greatly enjoyed my time there!

Pacific Quest encouraged me to think deeper and learn more about the world around me, and it even showed me how to have fun doing it. As a result of this program, I have met numerous likeminded individuals that have now become my close friends. I highly recommend this experience, and it’s the thing I always look forward to most when summer approaches. I wouldn’t be the same without it!

It was a lot of fun. I was very happy because of the other students that attended. They are what I like the most. The other students were really fun to hang out with and accepting of others no matter what you looked like or how you acted. I definitely would like to attend PQ Rise again next summer.

It was a fun time being away from home for a week and experiencing dorm life. The thing I liked the most was the variety of all of the different activities that we participated in. I definitely would like to attend Pacific Quest again next summer.

I have attended 4 years of Pacific Quest/PQRise, and it is always such a pleasure. I learn so much from the amazing professors and get to meet great people every year. Every time I go, it feels like I am coming home. All my fellow attendees are amazing, and it is wonderful to get to connect with old friends and make new ones. My skills and passion for the sciences have grown exponentially. I have learned to perform many experiments, research, present my findings, and so much more. I can not point out one favorite moment or year, as I have deeply enjoyed all of them. These are some of the many reasons I work hard at fundraising each year to ensure that I can come back.
