What is Peace Camp?

Peace Camps are week long LFFP programs designed to introduce peace to children ages 5-14. LFFP utilizes art, games, and presentations to teach children mindfulness, empathy, anger management, conflict resolution, and self-empowerment.

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."

We need peace. You can find it in yourself. If you look at all of the things that are happening in the world, wouldn't you want to help? If you don't the world will get worse. For all of us. So please all I am asking is to be kind, care for people, and love one another. Find it deep down in yourself and create peace. Then the world will be a better place, for all of us.
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."
