The 2024 St Louis River Quest will be a face to face event drawing in another 1,400 pre-teens from 9 area schools. Since its inception in 1993, River Quest has provided hands-on learning to nearly 30,000 students.

Students carry River Quest passports to document their adventures. After the event, they are encouraged to submit essays or poems about their experiences for the program’s annual writing contest.
