DREAM QUEST follows the incredible journey of eight "dreamers" as they compete in challenges designed to expose their weaknesses and make them face the very obstacles that are stopping them from achieving their dreams. The drama culminates in an emotional season finale where the winners of each of three rounds of competition are rewarded with a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to pitch their dream to a panel of celebrity judges. But only one will win and get a chance to live out their dream.
Season 1Since the time Ponce de León first discovered the Florida Keys in his search for the mythical “Fountain of Youth,” this has been a place where dreams have been pursued. As the setting for season one of DREAM QUEST, it is once again the backdrop for individuals relentlessly chasing their dreams.
Extending some 120 miles from Miami to Key West, the Florida Keys provide an amazing setting and backstory for the DREAM QUEST challenges. Local landmarks, legends and attractions all serve as colorful backstories that will direct the eight contestants on their journey to live out their dreams.
DreamersCourtenay Bowser and Sean Yost are the show’s Dream Coaches. Part host and part mentor, they encourage each dreamer to push back their fears and overcome any obstacles that are stopping them from success. They also lead one of the most dynamic aspects of DREAM QUEST, a powerful nightly bonfire in which they challenge the group to take steps that boldly move them closer to their dreams.
Courtenay is dynamic, beautiful and intense. She's never one to shrink back from a challenge. Starting at age 19 she helped change the lives of thousands of young people by creating her own arts school and leading arts mission trips around the world. Currently she is an international speaker and author. She wrote the book "Beautiful" that confronts the issues of body image and low self-esteem in women. She's also a successful television host, inspiring young women in the series REAL GIRLS REAL LIFE and co-hosting (along with Sean) the reality series for young adults ULTIMATE CHOICE.
Sean is a youth expert with a big personality. He has motivated and inspired over a half million young people who've had their lives changed by an amazing outreach he created called YouthQuake Live. He's also led hundreds of teens on mission trips to 12 different countries. Sean co-hosted (along with Courtenay) five seasons of a young adult reality series called ULTIMATE CHOICE that is still seen today around the world. He will stop at nothing to help young people pursue and achieve their dreams.
