Peace Camp

Make the World a Peaceful Place!

Peace Camp seeks to develop peaceful, empowering communities and educate for peace, nonviolence and social justice.  Peace Camp encourages today’s youth – from kindergarten children to college students – to practice peace-making skills in the face of increasing violence in communities, classrooms and homes and to model nonviolent approaches to resolving conflict.

           
Peace Camp 2011 brought together 24 youth, plus 8 Counselors, Grades 4-8, from diverse socio-economic, racial, and cultural backgrounds.  The young campers from all faiths have an opportunity to enjoy the benefits of a day camp experience that reinforces seven themes:  To respect self and others; to communicate better; to listen; to forgive; to respect nature; to play creatively and to be courageous. Peace Camp 2010 brought together 30 children . . .

Mission Statement

We the members of the Youth Group of Mt. St. Peter Parish are committed to building a community of young people, passionate about strengthening and deepening our faith, motivated about challenging our intellects and abilities, and who desire to grow, socially, in our understanding of ourselves and others.   As we grow in our faith and understanding of the Gospel, we will be empowered to confront the unique challenges we will face, always aware of God’s love and grace.
