I think it is always the right time to do interfaith work. That doesn’t mean our tactics stay the same. They don’t. Right now, with tensions so high, it is time to double down on what we always do at our annual Interfaith Camp which is to focus on games, food, and fun! Yes, we learn about different religions at camp. However, we do not focus on our differences. We also don’t present the world’s problems to our kids and ask them to solve them. Instead, the interfaith work we do at camp is relational. We play games and have fun. We share food together. We explore how to be better listeners and build up empathy through getting to know each other.
One main goal of camp happens every year on Friday afternoon when students exchange phone numbers and make plans to stay in touch. That’s what we want to do with camp: build friendships.
If you are in middle school or high school, will you consider attending camp? If you are a parent of a 6th-12th grade student or know such a student, will you pass along this invitation? We would love to have anyone interested in being at camp! Full scholarships available with no forms to fill out:) Learn more and apply today at www.friendsforgoodcincy.org
