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 

The 10th Annual Interfaith Harmony Camp

July 28 – Aug 1st

9am-5pm

Click here to register.

Young Writing for (a) Change programs are designed to strengthen participants’ authentic voices, develop their abilities to speak through writing, deepen their belief in their own creative intelligence and enhance their self-esteem. At the same time, they will become better writers (without any red pens!).

Writing in a community of their peers, young people learn to encourage each other through honest feedback while building skills in creative self-expression.

Focusing on topics relevant to young people today, the programs include one-day workshops, multi-session classes and summer writing camps.

Camps are open to young women, girls, and trans and gender nonconforming (TGNC) youth, in grades 4-12, unless designated as All Gender.

The length and cost of courses vary. Scholarships are available.

Back in 2016 Friends for Good (formally Kids4Peace) hosted its first ever Interfaith Day Camp. Since that joyful week youth have been learning about different faith traditions every summer. They visit various houses of worship, get to know one another, learn ways they can create peace together, and have tons of fun! This year the camp will visit ish! Teens and tweens will learn about Tikkun Olam and will do a service project in Northside. Students will also visit the Hindu Temple of Greater Cincinnati, an Episcopal church in Oakley and spend a day at the Holocaust and Humanity Center. The camp meets daily 9am-5pm from August 5-9th and is open to anyone entering 7th-9th grade. To register for camp visit bit.ly/interfaithharmony2024
