The Peace Camp at Gwynedd Friends
The Peace Camp at Gwynedd Friends is an annual Day Camp, two weeks in August, for children entering first grade through entering seventh grade. The offer of scholarship assistance and the joyful inclusion of children from diverse backgrounds, including Quakers, create opportunities for children to have fun in a supportive environment while finding peace within themselves so they are able to contribute to peaceful environments at home, at school, and with friends. Campers learn to express their emotions constructively, understand other points of view, use words to solve problems, celebrate differences and practice peacemaking. There are indoor and outdoor cooperative games, arts and crafts, music, creative problem-solving and service projects to choose from.
