About the Azimuth Quest Foundation
Who Are We
An Arizona-based 501(c)3 non-profit, incorporated in 2018. Our mission is to help young people discover and develop their potential through outdoor adventure education in fun, challenging environments with the goals of: promoting personal growth, insight and achievement, building positive relationships within diverse groups of participants, encouraging leadership development, and creating an ethic of stewardship of the natural world.
How We Operate
Azimuth Quest partners with local schools and youth-oriented non-profits to provide the curriculum, leadership and logistics along with physical and financial resources to assist those organizations in offering outdoor adventure education programs to their students/participants. Our signature year-round program for high-school students is the Challenge Outdoor Adventure Program. Challenge is currently offered at Prescott High School, Prescott AZ.
Other schools and non-profits wishing to work with us to offer outdoor adventure education activities to their students/participants should contact us through our Contact form
The Story of Our Name
The word "Azimuth" is used in navigation and denotes an angle from a fixed reference like true north. Historically, the word also meant "the way" or "the path.”
The Azimuth Quest Foundation uses the word intentionally; to remind everyone of our core purpose of helping young people set their direction in life through outdoor adventure education.
The Outdoors is for all Youth
Azimuth Quest welcomes and includes youth from all backgrounds, and with any degree of prior experience in the outdoors and we strive to create an environment of belonging and unity within our groups.
Whether it be a weekend outing with the Challenge Program, an after-school mountain biking workshop and ride, or a week-long summer expedition, we will do our best to ensure that participants have the equipment, leadership, and necessary financial support to take part.
By reducing social, financial and resource barriers, students can feel comfortable and confident while participating in Azimuth Quest sponsored outings, providing a positive and inclusive outdoor experience for all.
