Peace Village Day Camps
“What is important is the glimmer of hope we see for a more peaceful life in our children. This is illustrated by the numbers who return every year as campers and then continue to return as counselors and teachers because they believe in the philosophy.”
Peace Village day camps teach children specific tools to build understanding and create peace within themselves and with their communities. There are currently over 30 Peace Village camps around the country. If you are interested in attending a camp, find one near you.
We would love to talk to you about starting a camp in your area. In order to run a Peace Village program, you will need to buy the curriculum and take one of our trainings.
The camp program teaches the Peace Village core curriculum of Mindfulness, Media Literacy, Connecting with Nature, and Conflict Resolution to children ages 6-13. It is designed for school, faith and community organizations.
"Build A Peace Village," our new curriculum, offers many ways of confronting bullying, making wise choices with social media, and connects children with the natural world. Moreover, it offers students a comprehensive view of the messages and practices of peace from a variety of world traditions, both spiritual and secular.
Our curriculum includes a manual with all pertinent information on starting a camp including timelines, teachers, funding, etc., as well as all the lesson plans for the core curriculum classes and ideas on afternoon activities, service projects, closing ceremonies, and graduation.
If you’re interested in launching a Peace Village Camp in your area, you can purchase the curriculum below. For new camps, when you order a curriculum, you will receive access to three training webinars.
