Peace Camp is entering its tenth year of teaching kids the skills they need to be peacemakers in their community and world. This year we will focus on the ways peacemakers work together to build healthy communities. Throughout the week we will meet and become community builders in our neighborhood!
At Peace Camp kids learn peaceful conflict resolution skills, how to be a good friend, and how to calm down big feelings. Each day includes peace circles, yoga, art, conflict resolution workshops, and a lot of fun! The week includes a field trip to Irons Oaks Environmental Learning Center where the older children will do team building activities and crate building, while the younger children explore the communities of life found in nature.
Peace Camp is for all kids entering grades 1st - 6th in the fall. Registration opens on March 15 and closes June 12. The fee is $50 per child with scholarships available. The registration fee includes the field trip to Irons Oaks Environmental Learning Center and a Peace Camp t-shirt.
Peace Camp is staffed by volunteers who love helping kids learn to be peace makers! If you would like to help with Peace Camp this year, please contact Pastor Jennie English-Dumont (pastor@bethlehem-chicago.org)
