Imagine a place where you can go and
be accepted, a place where no one
judgesyou, a place that you can feel
safe.
One place comes to my mind and thatplace
is called Camp P.E.A.C.E.!
In the few days that I was at Camp
P.E.A.C.E. I learned so many things.
I went inthere to meet people and
make new friends (and for the food),
but what I cameout with was much more.
I came out with knowledge of people
that I didn’t even know, I came
outwith knowledge about close friends
of mine that I didn’t even know.
I came outwith new friends and how
to handle people that feel “different”.
I leaned thateveryone is different,
but also similar in many ways. I learned
that no matterwhere you go, you will
never be alone, that you will always
have friends andpeople just like you
around.
Camp P.E.A.C.E. introduced me to many
different kinds of people - black,homosexuals,
“fat” people, jocks, and
religious people - and I love them
all. Ihave made so many friends from
there who are the nicest people that
I willever meet and who are very open-minded!
