Who We Are:

The adults involved with Peace Village range from elementary, high school and college level educators to yoga teachers, artists, musicians, and religious leaders. In addition, parents, grandparents, and many wonderful community volunteers work at camp and behind the scenes to dream, plan, organize, and make camp happen.

There isn't enough space to list each amazing volunteer who contributes to make our Peace Village the extra-special place it is. It is also very difficult to get photos of these folks, since they are usually moving from one fun activity to the next-- but below are the few we could corner and photograph.
