Peace Camp is a free summer camp program. Donations are always welcome. ICPJ suggests a donation of $50 per family for participating families to help us cover costs; however, no child will be excluded from Peace Camp for financial reasons. Children with special needs may be accompanied by a sign language translator, TSS, or other adult helper. We ask children to pack a brown bag lunch and water bottle for each day.

Peace Camp is a week-long summer day camp for youth ages 6–14 that promotes compassion, justice, and community. Through interactive learning, campers explore themes of equity, cooperation, and peacebuilding, all while having fun and making new friends.
Activities include:
- Creative arts & crafts
- Music & movement
- Storytelling & historical exploration
- Cooperative games
- Mindfulness & nature walks
- Group discussions on fairness, inclusion, and empathy
- Field trips to significant local sites, including the Gettysburg Black History Trail
Each day centers on a theme that connects history with present-day peacebuilding efforts, empowering young people to be changemakers in their communities.
