Camp Highlights-- Snapshots and memories

I want to go to a camp like this! As a volunteer and a planner on the Dream Team for Peace Village I got to see all our work come fully into the light and did it shine! In many ways I felt like I got to be a camper all week.  I visited every Core class and popped into all the Village Fair activities at least once. What I saw everywhere I went is the vision of Peace Village in creating experiences to practice peace within, peace among, peace around.   --Erika Rench

I witness snapshots:
Media Literacy: watching the powerful educational video produced by Always -throw like a girl, run like a girl- with Jubitz Family Foundation visitors and our faith ambassador. There wasn't a dry eye in the adults and the kids were speechless.

Art: looking into the eyes of our campers and taking a pledge to carry the stories of the children on the courage sticks created by them during the week of camp.

Counselors:
How amazing these confident, lively, loving these young adults are with our kids!

Movement: watched dance transform campers energy from negative, distracting and separate to joyous, open and connected.

 Nonviolent Communication: three weeks after Peace Village on a camping trip kids and parents joyfully and enthusiastically played- " Hey Jen." Hey what?" "Show us how you get down!"

Earth Connections: I never did find Bill off in the woods but I sat in a circle in Peace Heroes placing both hands on the earth together with children as way to ground, calm and bring themselves back to the present moment.
