Rand said that in the speaking engagements and the Author Quest camps his primary goal is to help young people understand the importance of and benefits of reading and writing.

The Author Quest camps are something Rand started in Author Quest are camps for kids ages 10 to 13 who enjoy writing and want to get better at it. Kids who enjoy sports, science or other activities have camps they can go to, so Rand felt kids who like to write should also have a camp where they can go to learn and meet other people who share their interest in writing.

It gives them their own tribe. We have an application process because we really want to get kids who love to write. We had a kid who flew down from Kodiak Island, Alaska. We get kids from all across the country. Every camp fills up. The kids who attend the camp are interested in various forms of writing: science fiction, journaling, newspapers, books.

The camps allow them to receive guidance and pursue those interests in a remote and quiet setting with other people who love to write. After more than 10 years, Rand is now seeing former campers come back as counselors and seeing the friendships that campers share.
