Story

Offering our students transformational summer experiences has been at the core of Summer Searchs mission for over 30 years. Unfortunately, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, our sophomores were not able to embark on their summer trips in 2020. This summer, we have committed to providing summer experiences within the state of California to both sophomores and juniors. We are also excited to offer our students innovative and impactful virtual experience options with some of our longstanding summer partners. Your support will help ensure our students can enjoy the full breadth of Summer Search's program through our life-changing summer experiences. Additionally, all gifts received through the Summer Experience Challenge will be generously matched $1:$1 by the Quest Foundation and an anonymous donor, up to $150,000!
