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
