Each year, thousands gather across diverse faith traditions to celebrate sacred practice, prayer, music, dialogue, culture, and community.
- This year, 48 volunteers representing 10 different faith traditions are already actively working to thoughtfully revamp and refresh the Festival experience.

Let’s build this together.
Friends for Good’s 11th annual camp will take place July 27 – July 31, 2026 daily from 9am – 5pm. Each day, camp moves to a new location so participants can learn about the religion and culture of that particular space. Previous host sites in the past have been The Islamic Center of Greater Cincinnati, Adath Israel Congregation, Bethan Adam Congregation, St. Barnabas Episcopal Church, Knox Presbyterian Church, The Bahá’í Center of Cincinnati, The Third Way Peace Fellowship, ish, and others.
Participants learn about other practices and cultures, play a lot of games, and get to know others from different walks of life. This camp is not about solving world problems or overcoming huge differences. Rather, it is about developing the leadership qualities of deep listening, empathy, and awareness. Religion? Listening? Awareness? This might not sound like the most exciting summer camp, but just ask the students that participate. No doubt, they will tell you that they love being at Interfaith Harmony Camp. It is a fun way to make new friends and eat amazing snacks in the process.
Scholarship & Camp Fee
If you would like a scholarship, simply pay what you can or what you think is reasonable. There are no forms to fill out. We trust you and our priority is to ensure every student who wants to participate is able to!
Early bird suggested price is $150 before June 1st and $250 after. Partial and full scholarships are available with no questions asked.

our 11th annual Interfaith Harmony Camp is set for July 27–31, 2026! Registration is already live and waiting for its first registrant. This is where I want to spend some time today.
The Interfaith Harmony Camp has succeeded for over a decade only because people like you support it in so many different ways. While financial donations are necessary and incredibly helpful, that is only one way to support this amazing camp.
Will you please take a moment to read through the following list and let me know if you would be willing to help us with camp this summer?
