Bellingham Unitarian Fellowship's Peace on Earth Camp is a unique day camp
for kids that fosters a love and respect for the Earth that lasts a lifetime.
Nature, games, art, drama and music are all part of an eco-friendly curriculum designed to inspire
care and concern for the Earth presented in an atmosphere of traditional summer camp spirit, fun and camaraderie.
We use a fresh hands-on approach to nature as we crawl, dig, sort and play our way into discovering unique aspects
of the natural world around us. Eco-friendly cooperative games, music, and art projects abound!
Experience creating our theatre performance and discover how to work as a team in writing a script, designing sets and performing
or working behind the scenes as campers perform for our camp families and the community.
Our BUF Peace on Earth Camp teaches Unitarian Universalist values that are important for the children in our faith community
and also important to the community at large. The camp is a wonderful microcosm of the world we are trying to create in the
larger sense with our principles.
Campers will have a meaningful camp experience while discovering how you can make a difference in the world
and gain experiences in taking a stand after a fabulous week at Peace on Earth Camp!
"I learned that no matter how young I am,
I can make a difference in the world.
Now, I won't be afraid to speak my mind."
Camper, age 12
