I Am Being Peaceful
Being Peaceful is all about choices kids make
and their own personal self-awareness. Children remember what it means to be
peaceful. We learn what it means to be a "Peacemaker" by solving our
problems peacefully using S.T.A.R. and the Circle of Peace. Campers will create
their own Peaceable Being that will last for years and participate in other
projects that help reinforce all the skills learned at camp.
Session
2: Week of July 27
Putting Peace in Motion
Putting Peace in Motion is all about
putting skills learned into action. Peace begins with you and me, so lets get
others involved! This session helps children develop problem solving
strategies, communication skills, cooperation and team work as they develop a
stronger sense of their inner beings by practicing with others.
Session
3: Week of Aug 3
Play for Peace
Being Peaceful is fun! Children spend the
week creating skits and mini plays. They practice peacemaking skills during
various role-plays and involment in cooperative games. Campers also learn about
other cultures and games kids play for fun around the world. They will also be
looking into how they effect the environment and how the environment effects
them!
