Meet the Women’s Quest Staff
Our Women’s Quest team comprises seasoned, compassionate athletes, Olympians, World and National champions, and remarkable individuals embodying the essence of wonder women. With over 32 years of expertise, we are deeply committed to crafting exceptional experiences that leave a lasting and profound impact on our participants.
I’m so thankful I had the opportunity to participate in Women’s Quest.
“I can’t completely describe all the qualities the staff of Women’s Quest possesses, other than it being a sweet combination of love, knowledge, strength, camaraderie, beauty, and tenderness—one would only find this if they totaled the best of Mother Nature, the Dalai Lama, a best girlfriend, mentor, and Guardian Angel.” -Diane Hillgrove
