Peace Camp
2014
Your Part in
Creating Circles of Peace:
Breaking the
cycle of violence that so many children live with begins teaching and modeling
healthy and peaceful choices. Peace Camp 2014 will bring children and young
adult from various socio-economic backgrounds and faiths together to create
Circles of Peace that will have ever-widening effects in our families,
neighborhood and schools. As a Peace
Camp Counselor, you will receive valuable training in the principles of
non-violence, mediation, conflict management, communication and leadership
skills, all of which are valuable and transferable to your personal, academic and
professional development. Following the training, Peace Camp Counselors will
then be given the opportunity to “teach” these skills to neighborhood youth in
Grade 1-8. Peace Camp Counselors receive a $500 stipend for their service.
