Our Summer 2018 theme “Explore a Path of Peace" reflected Little Friends for Peace’s goal of creating environments where campers and counselors alike could experience, learn, and practice peace, in ways our culture may not foster or facilitate. Peace is defined differently by each individual, but LFFP teaches peace as both an answer and alternative to violence. Peace is attainable, and each of us plays a part in its manifestation in our lives and natures, as well as those of our families, our communities, and our world. Peace Camp allows students to see peace as a path they can and should follow, through our teaching of interpersonal conflict resolution skills, critical thinking, global citizenship, and through the inspiration of Peace Heroes.

Peace Camp Poetry

Untitled
A poem by Jonathan Harness "I can see the sun Through the clouds I've broken Evaporating the walls of my cage I set forth Taking the path least traveled Because I blaze it as I go Putting prints behind me Party grows larger Because I hold my hands out Pull people from the Rapids Share the herbs I've picked up along my way Remedy everything With an open hand and an explorer's machete." |
Peace Transformer
By Leila Park, age 12 "We are peace transformers not robots, not cars even though that would be cool but we still transform, we still change we change hate to love we change racism into equality we change war to peace even though we are not robots or cars we are peace transform." |

What Is Peace?
A poem by Piper Powell "What is peace? Peace is a single breath that becomes stronger when we work together. Peace is the choice that everyone has to make. Are you going to choose violence... or peace? Peace is a voice that has been forgoten, but is rembered thanks to peacemakers all around us. Peace is the fire that brings warmth back to us after a deadly war full of regrets. Peace are new eyes you can look through like I did and so many others. Peace is all those things and more." |
