| CAMPpeaceworks is an exciting project of Berks Women in Crisis’ PeaceWorks Department! Each year, the program recruits forty youth currently in grades 8 through 11 who are interested in working on social justice issues in our community. Our camp is different from most summer day camps because campers explore with adults the root causes of violence in our society – the “isms,” such as sexism, racism, “classism,” and adultism. Because of the issues being addressed at camp, we seek to recruit youth who are diverse in terms of gender, race, economic background, and sexual orientation. Working on these important issues is rewarding, but can be pretty challenging as well. That’s why plenty of recreation time (swimming, boating, hiking, and sports) is built into the schedule, as well as time for talking in small groups, journaling, and quiet time. All meals and snacks are provided, and all campers attend free of charge! The purpose of CAMPpeaceworks is to create a youth-adult alliance to address social justice issues with the ultimate goal of creating a more peaceful society. The CAMPpeaceworks program is not just a week-long day camp; we encourage campers to take their newfound knowledge and awareness to the next level! Follow-up activities include monthly meetings and support for youth-initiated social justice projects in schools, faith-based institutions, and communities.
