“Carbon Footprint” is Peace Camp 2008 Theme

The ICPJ’s annual Peace Camp for 2008 will be “The Carbon Footprint Peace Camp.” This year campers will discover:

• Why protecting the environment helps promote peace
• Why polar bears matter
• Whether the rain forest could keep the world healthy
• How to locate vampire appliances in their homes
• And much MUCH more!

Peace Camp 2008 will be held from June 16 - June 20, 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. each day. All children ages 6 to 12 are welcome. Teens are welcome–and encouraged!–to attend as Junior Counselors. A light snack is served each morning. We ask for a $5 snack/registration fee per family, automatically waived in cases of need. Registration is required; space is limited, and we cannot accept walk-ins. A registration form can be found here.

Peace Camp is directed by Denise Weldon-Siviy with assistance from experienced educator Sabrina Paxton-Daily. For more information, or to volunteer, email peacecamp@icpj-gettysburg.org .
