Contributing to Cadet Quest

Published by the Calvinist Cadet Corps, the Cadet Quest is a Christian-oriented magazine for boys ages 9-14. Using seven theme-driven issues every year, its purpose is to show how God is working in the lives of boys and in the world around them.

To put together a season’s worth of issues, we need content. If you – or someone you know – likes to write and can write well, send us your articles and stories. 

We’re looking for fiction and non-fiction material that is Christian-oriented without being too preachy. We want wholesome, Christian, age-appropriate stories that will appeal to active, imaginative boys. 

We’re not just looking for longer stories, either – we’re also in need of jokes, puzzles, projects, and news stories that feature Cadets. If you or your cadets want to contribute, we want to hear from you!

We’re especially interested in material that addresses the theme of that issue. Here are the themes for upcoming issues of Cadet Quest:

• September/October 2020: Dive Into the Word (our 2020-2021 Cadets theme)
• November 2020: Basketball 
• December 2020: Grandparents
• January 2021: Peer Pressure
• February 2021: Chemistry
• March 2021: Kenya
• April/May 2021: Easter

For a full explanation of these themes, please download our 2020-2021 Cadet Quest theme list.
