The Interfaith Center for Peace and Justice (ICPJ) will host its 31st Peace Camp at Vida Charter School, 120 East Broadway, Gettysburg, from Monday, June 20, to Friday, June 24, from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Drop off is between 8:30 and 9:00 a.m., and pick up is between 3:00 and 3:30 p.m. Melissa Rosenberger is this year’s Peace Camp Director. The camp is open to children ages 6 to 12.
The year’s theme is “Earth Justice: People, Peace, and Planet.” Through interactive games, crafts, music, stories, food, and meditation, participants will spend their days focusing on various ways that we can practice mindfulness, engage in good dialogue, celebrate diversity, and resolve conflicts as we build community. Peace Camp is a free summer camp program. Donations are always welcome. ICPJ suggests a donation of $35 per family to help us cover costs; however, no child will be excluded from Peace Camp for financial reasons. Children with special needs may be accompanied by a sign language translator, TSS, or other adult helper. We ask children to pack a brown bag lunch for each day.
Registration forms are available on the ICPJ website: http://icpj-gettysburg.org/peace-camp/ or at: https://forms.gle/kLdcAPVJFj88gtFSA.
