Description
Our Interfaith Service Day Camp is an exploration of the world of interfaith leadership through visiting sacred sites and hands on service projects at area nonprofits. Students will build friendships while working with a variety of service organizations doing incredible work in our community. It is an excellent opportunity to engage with peers and neighbors of a variety of cultures, traditions, and world views. Camps are open to students in grades 7-12. Camp runs from 9am-3pm June 24-28. Cost: $100
This year's camp will explore cooperation across lines of difference as we learn each other’s stories and work to build an equitable community for everyone. This week is perfect for students with or without prior knowledge of interfaith dialogue and cross-cultural communication, but are ready for an immersion experience.** During this camp students can expect to:
