MEPC 2020: July 20th - 24th - Register Today!
Adult Camp: July 25th
2020 Theme: Permaculture - Stewarding the Earth
Location: University of Washington (details upon registration)
From July 20th - 24th, Muslim, Arab, Jewish, Christian, Israeli, Palestinian and US young people, teens, and adults came together to continue an important, long-term approach to peace-building at the University of Washington. This year our week-long children’s day camp will focus on PERMACULTURE, stewarding the earth. We will explore the traditions of agriculture here and in the Middle East and learn how to be good stewards of the earth. Come and play with us as we delve into our theme through hands-on activities incorporating science, music, arts and crafts, games and more!
Adult Camp on July 25th will include an educational program and discussion of a topic of relevance to the MEPC Community. Past topics have included presentations on the current situation of the Uighurs in China, the state of health care in Palestine and the challenges of life in the Gaza strip.
The Middle East Peace Camp for Children (MEPC) is a grassroots coalition of Arab and Jewish communities and our friends. Kadima is one of the three co-founders of the MEPC. MEPC is dedicated to embracing our common humanity while empowering youth through education, recreation, and leadership development. The camp takes a multifaceted approach to teaching the values of peacemaking through a focus on conflict resolution and human rights using creative arts, science, music, dance, sports, and language activities. We plant seeds of friendship and fun while emphasizing our commonalities and celebrating our differences! MEPC is a week-long summer day camp.
