ANNOUNCING CAMP PEACEPRINTS 2022!

JULY 18-29, M-F 10 AM – 3 PM

SS. COLUMBA-BRIGID CHURCH, 75 HICKORY STREET, BUFFALO 14204

Our 2022 theme will be “Justice for All.” We will explore such questions as: What is Justice? What makes a person a citizen? What are our rights and responsibilities as citizens? How do we change laws that are unjust and oppressive? We will discuss different types of government that exist around the world and how different countries handle infractions to their laws. Concepts such as laws and law enforcement, civic duty, civil disobedience, the court system, culture and customs will be explored. How do we use the existing justice system productively for all people or change it if it no longer works for society?

CAMP PEACEPRINTS is a summer camp designed to introduce youth to social justice, while providing them with peaceful conflict resolution skills and exposure to a broader community. It is a two-week long alternative education program for participants ages 8 – 13, with older youth serving as Youth Assistants. Participants take weekly field trips and hear from local organizers daily. The lesson plans expose them to alternatives to violence exercises, historical movements to end oppression and modern day efforts in community organizing. Music, art, theater, dance, and recreation are significant facets of the program.
