Inquiry: There's an App for That.

Growing up in an age of technological innovation throws wide open the doors of information accessibility and fluency. With the touch of a button (or the tap of a screen), answers are available within moments—a thrill for the inquisitive. At Camp Inquiry, we encourage and provide an open forum for questions, curiosity, and skepticism. But then what?

Young minds don’t just ask big questions; they search for big answers. Increased availability of information necessitates an increased aptitude for critical thinking in order to filter a barrage of opinions from a world of “experts.” These skills of skeptical questioning are applicable not only to the latest social media posts but to a meaningful and enriching life in the real world. Skeptics of any age don’t just want to amass information—they want understanding. They want to know the how and the why. At Camp Inquiry 2012, there’s an app for that.
