Seeds of Peace

Camp plants the seeds from which will grow lifelong commitments to pursuing peace and dialogue. However, year-round programming after campers return to the region is critical for sustaining their relationships and ideals. During follow-up regional activities in the regions, Seeds participate in continued programs with their leaders, advanced dialogue sessions, school presentations, cross-cultural exchanges, workshops and seminars, outreach events, and they also produce their own magazine entitled The Olive Branch. The peace-building and learning processes begun at camp are then able to continue and take root back in the region, where they are most needed.
