Yes

Have you been to Peace Camp in the last 5 years?*

Yes

Many Hands Make Light Work*

Peace Camp is staffed by volunteer members of the camp community – together, we make Peace Camp happen. All campers will be assigned to a regular work group. We need additional support in select areas. We call these super campers “Camp Bodhi’s”. Let us know where we might count on you to help the camp run smoothly. Select as many Bodhi roles that interest you or any adult in your group. Your selections are not signing you up but rather a way to let us know where you’re most interested in providing your support at camp as needed.

Adult campers with children 5 and under are expected to actively participate in daily WORK PRACTICE groups but will not be expected to contribute to additional volunteer work at camp as caring for the little people take great love and energy. If this is you, please select the last choice in this list.

PEACE CAMP ENCORE

Will you be attending ENCORE?

Peace Camp Encore is a post-camp retreat for camp organizers. Selecting this option will add 1 day of informal camping and next years planning. Campers will continue on through Friday. Encore will begin after the closing of our formal Peace Camp. We’ll pack up the trucks and send back all the canopies, supplies etc to the Temple. Then return to informally camp with our group. We’ll enjoy community meals together, reflection and planning, and scheming in the woods about how we can improve the already wonderful and marvelous Peace Camp experience. All Encore campers are required to be active and energetic participants in next year’s planning activities, meal preparation, and end-of-Encore clean, pack and wrap up.

Yes, I will attend ENCORE

No, I will not be attending Encore
