THE THEME FOR THIS YEAR’S CAMP IS : “The Language of Peace”

In what ways do we communicate for peace? Do we behave in a non violent way in our interactions with one another? How can the way we talk to and treat each other in our daily lives contribute to peace in the world. This year we will explore non violent communication more, constructive expression of feelings and consideration of others lives and experiences. Empathy, compassion, compromise, collectivity and tolerance are just a few of the tools we will learn and practice. We also will learn about other languages of peace and love from different cultures from around the world! All this through art, music, nature, play and mindfulness.

July 14th–18th or July 21st–25th 2025

The mission of Peacemakers Day Camp is to promote peace and teach peacemaking skills to a diverse group of children in a safe, fun environment. We will help guide children to discover their potential as peacemakers.

Our Vision

Through play, discussion, creative arts, music, helping others, and interacting with nature, campers gain confidence in themselves as peacemakers.  Every day, campers learn and practice various skills, such as giving put-ups, building peace bridges, compromising, negotiating, using “I” messages, and sharing respect. Campers will also grow an understanding of how and why peace is important on a global scale.

Who we are

The teachers, staff, and teen counselors – most of whom are volunteers – are committed to work together to lead the campers and to respond to group and individual needs compassionately and collectively.

Founded in 1986, Milwaukee Children’s Peacemakers Day Camp is a nonsectarian program of the Milwaukee Friends Meeting (Quakers)
