Each summer Salford organizes a free week of Peace Camp for children from our church and local community. We meet Sunday through Thursday evenings.
Children who have completed kindergarten through 5th grade are invited to participate. At Peace Camp children practice peace with ourselves, peace with the earth, and peace with others. Christ’s affirmation in the Sermon on the Mount, “Blessed are the peacemakers” is the central theme for our week together. The week's objectives include: 1. To model Christ-like living while playing and working together. 2. To engage in meaningful activities that teach conflict resolution skills and cooperation. 3. To foster awareness of self and others as gifted, generous persons, and to cultivate confidence to work for peace. 4. To appreciate individual and cultural differences of people of all races, ethnicity, and genders. 5. To strengthen connection and care for God’s creation. Our key verse: "Love others…really love them…Hold tightly to what is good. Love each other with genuine affection...When God’s people are in need, be ready to help them." - Romans 12:9-13 We conclude our time together with a program for families on Thursday evening, where children share favorite experiences and what they have learned through the week. |
