Virtual Peace Camp 2020
Theme: My Two Hands Hold The Earth
Join us for 4 weeks of Virtual Programming from June 22- July 16.
What does virtual peace camp look like? MJ Park will be leading peace circles and classes! Each Monday we will kick off the week with an Opening Circle with all peace campers. On Thursday afternoons we will close out the week with our Closing Circle with all campers. This gives the campers an opportunity to interact and tell stories about what they have learned or experienced during the week.
Twice a week your child will meet with their peace camp team (divided by age and grade). Classes will provide children (ages 4-14) with the opportunity to explore cooperation and conflict resolution in safe and supportive environments. Peace camp has always been about creating inclusive environments where campers, counselors and staff can experience, learn, and practice peace in ways our culture may not facilitate.
This year's theme represents our larger commitment to doing our little part to help heal and renew the face of the earth. This summer, our campers will discover how being an earthkeeper is just one way that peace can begin with them. Not only will they explore methods of maintaining their own personal wellbeing but also learn ways that they can be peace leaders in their world through their actions towards others and our earth.
Peace Camp is a highly interactive experience, where campers are taught the skills needed to deal with their problems in a peaceful manner and are encouraged to create solutions to the problems they see in the world. Join us this summer as we explore care for ourselves, each other, and our earth!

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." |
