What is FitQuest All About?
Students in the FitQuest program participate in grade-standard-based experiential learning opportunities that promote the importance of nutrition, mental wellness, and physical fitness. The program includes educational assemblies at the student’s schools and expanded curriculum during their week-long stay at Shady Creek.
The intent is to raise awareness and encourage program participants to:
- Be mindful of food choices
- Be responsible for what they can control
- Choose to be physically active
- Understand that their choices today affect their health tomorrow
- Adopt healthy ways of dealing with stress
- Nurture their mental health
- The Family Camp program, sponsored by Sutter Health, is an action-packed family weekend.
The goal is to bring the family unit together and educate them on the benefits of:
- Choosing healthy meals and snacks as a family
- Prioritizing family fun and fitness (through physical activity)

- Nutrition
- Mental Health
