Peace Camps
JULY 17-21 9am-3pm
Students will experience a ?World of Peace.? Campers will embark on a multicultural adventure exploring peace traditions from around the world through special presentations, arts and crafts, and group games. They will gain tools to create personal peace and solve their conflicts nonviolently as they learn how other famous peacemakers from around the world have made positive changes in themselves and the world around them.
JULY 24-28 9am-3pm
Campers will embark on a magical journey! Through games, set and costume design, and play practice for all ages, they will learn to use their heads, hearts and courage to visit the land of OZ. Campers use their new conflict resolution skills to help Dorothy and her friends down the Yellow Brick Road to the Emerald City by participating in the ?Wizard of Peace? play. Performance for parents and friends is scheduled for the last day of camp.
Peace Camp 2006 will be a special event for your child to participate in. We at The Peace Center believe that children can be the best peacemakers in our community. Peace Camp 2006 will help children gain leadership skills as well as teach them peaceful ways for handling conflict through crafts, games, and storytelling!
