For over a decade, Peace Camp has been teaching kids the skills they need to be peacemakers in their community and world. This year we continue our partnership with Peace Camp Chicago as we explore how peace makers choose love over fear.  

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, art, conflict resolution workshops, stories in the sand, and a lot of fun! Each day includes a snack and campers bring a sack lunch.   

Peace Camp is for all kids entering grades 1st - 6th in the fall. The fee is $100 per camper, with scholarships available. 

Middle School students (entering 7th-9th grades) are welcome to register to serve as junior leaders in training for $35.  

The registration fee includes the field trip and a Peace Camp t-shirt. Scholarships are available. Scholarship recipients will need a code at check out. Email Pastor Jennie before registering if you are interested in a scholarship. 

Students entering grades 10 - 12 in the fall are welcome to apply to be counselors. Email Pastor Jennie for more information. 

Registration opens for Bethlehem members on March 9 and for the public on March 16 at 9 AM. Registration fills quickly! If camp is full when you try to register, please contact Pastor Jennie (email below) to have your child placed on the wait list. 

Peace Camp is based in a Christian theology of justice, mercy, and God's abundant love for all. Peace Camp is open to children of all religious backgrounds.
