Camp Peaceprints 2010

The WNY Peace Center and the SSJ Sister Karen Klimczak Center for Nonviolence are jointly hosting the 2nd Annual Camp Peaceprints, an alternative summer camp. It is a 2 week long day camp, running July 12 - 23, Monday - Friday, 9am to 4pm. The camp is for youth ages 8 -13, with roughly 25 - 30 participants daily. People 14 years of age or older can register to become camp assistants. The cost is $100 a week, with sliding scale payments and scholarships available.

Instead of weaving baskets - campers will learn about social change. The theme of the first week is Environmental and Social Justice and Responsibility. The second week will be devoted to Community Building & Change.

Each Wednesday the group takes a field trip to a locally significant site.

Tuesdays and Thursdays we incorporate the arts as forms of social justice.

Fridays we focus on nonviolent strategies and leadership and character development.

We have daily speakers from other organizations.

Camp Peaceprints will be co-led by Vicki Ross - the Peace Center‘s Peaceful Conflict Resolution Coordinator (a peace activist and licensed social worker) and Vivian Waltz - the Director of the SSJ Sister Karen Center for Nonviolence (who has worked extensively in both ministry and youth development and will be an ordained Minister by the end of June). They are joined by Ellen Moomaw, who is a Peace Center member and a teacher with the East Aurora Public School System and by staff members from Erie County's Strengthening Families Program (ECCPASA). There will also be additional rotating adult volunteers. Elea Mihou, the Peace Center‘s Executive Director and a camp supervisor, previously worked as the Assistant Director of a Girl Scout Camp and a freedom school in California.
