Peace Camp
Peace Camp is an intensive, three-week summer day camp located at Cheryl’s Lodge uniquely designed for elementary school children who are experiencing behavior problems at home and at school. Through the use of drama, arts, music and recreation youth are taught peaceful, effective communication skills to help them more appropriately deal with difficult situations.
“Peace Camp” uses a variety of learning opportunities to impart skill development in areas such as: conflict resolution, team-work, cooperation, problem solving, social appropriateness, communication and anger management. “Peace Camp” also requires parents to participate in camp activities to ensure that the family is also learning peaceful communication skills together. Peace Camp serves approximately 30 campers each year, free of charge.
