Peace ... what a concept!
Everybody talks about peace, justice and sustainability, but achieving is a lot harder than people think. It'll take work. It'll take sacrifice. But as parents, we want a planet worth handing on to our kids. Let's work together!

I work for the Pikes Peak Justice & Peace Commission, which has an extensive youth development program. It starts with "Peace Camp" for kids ages 6-13. This year's camp runs July 12-17 at Sacred Heart Church in Old Colorado City, 2021 W. Pikes Peak Ave.
Peace Camp is an exciting alternative day camp running Monday through Friday, 9 a.m.-3 p.m. Children ages 6-13 take on different crafts and projects every day to focus on Peace with Self, Peace with Neighbors, Peace with the Earth, Peace with the World and Becoming Peace Builders. There's also an enchanting overnight campout Friday night at Rocky Mountain Mennonite Camp - parents can join the fun or pick up children Saturday afternoon. Cost is $125.

March 20 is the 7th anniversary of the invasion of Iraq. Seven years after George Bush declared "Mission Accomplished!" The Vietnam-style quaqmire continues as the U.S. continues to pour billions into futile military solutions at the expense of human develop both here and in Iraq (and Afghanistan)! In marking the seventh year, please take a moment with your kids to explain how making friends is the path to world peace, not shooting guns!
Peace,
Steve
