Peace Camp XV at Our Lady of Sorrows

Monday, 23 July 2007
6:00 PM - 8:30 PM

Our Lady of Sorrows Church will host the 15th annual Peace Camp from July 23 to July 26 from 6:00pm to 8:30 pm at the Parish Center located on Clayton Ave. and Charles St. in Vestal.

Hosting children from grades K through 6th, this four-evening event explores peace, non-violence, diversity, community building and ways to help care for ourselves, our community and our world. Teen volunteers from grade 7 thru college plan teach these concepts through activities involving art, music, games, skits and peace puppets. Over the years, the children have helped others through involvement in various community service projects and at this year’s Camp, food will be collected and donated to local food pantries and children will donate personall care items for injured soldiers. The campers will also write and design peace messages, letters and banners.

The Camp concludes with a family Peace Meal where families join together to experience the children’s camp activities and to share a meal together. The Camp admission fee of $6.00 covers the cost of the Camp tee-shirt. Families are asked to bring a dish to pass for the Peace Meal on Thursday.
