Peace Camp’s curriculum focuses on both resolving inter-personal conflict as well as global peace. Campers engage in a number of activities– educational and recreational, that help increase communication skills,  anger management, conflict resolution, and problem solving skills.  To complement these skills, we use three main pedagogies.

Peace Heroes

By learning about a new “Peace Hero” each week — a local, national, and international champion of community change, justice, and nonviolence, our youth learn about the lives of those creating positive change in their communities around the world and bring that hope back into our worlds.

Carrying Leadership

Campers become counselors and carry the torch of peace and justice to those who were once in their shoes. Our Youth Counselors create and run their own Peace Studios ranging from nature, dance, and sports.

Expressive Arts

Our campers engage with peace and justice themes through many different art mediums and showcase their art each end of summer. Our Safe Streets tribute quilt is pictured above.
