Preteen and Teen Programming at The Bishop

We want your feedback to inform our future preteen and teen programming at The Bishop.

We are reimagining IQuest and considering more, new, and different opportunities for preteens and teens to engage with the Museum.

We want to know what you are excited about, what works for your family's schedule, and any areas of growth and connection we can provide space and support for.

Thank you for being a part of IQuest and hopefully joining us as we explore new ways to learn loudly!
