Session 1:         Week of July 21
I Am Being Peaceful
Being Peaceful is all about choices kids make. Children remember what it means to be peaceful. We learn 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 28
Putting Peace in Motion
Putting Peace in Motion is all about creative movement, imagination, adventure based activities, yoga, obstacle courses, walking a labyrinth and much more. These activities help children develop problem solving strategies and team work as they develop a stronger sense of their inner being.

Session 3:         Week of Aug 4
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!

Session 4:         Week of Aug 11
Wizard of Peace Play
Campers will perform THE WIZARD OF PEACE Play for parents and friends on the last day of camp after spending a week embarking on a magical journey with Dan and Dorothy helping them to use their head, heart and courage.
