Out of a concern for both campers and staff, we have decided to cancel all Peace Camp sessions this summer due to COVID-19. If and when public health authorities determine that it’s safe to begin meeting in person, we plan to hold some meetings of Peace Club, which are free of cost. Please keep an eye on the website and/or our Facebook page for updates. We will very much miss our sessions this year and look forward to resuming Peace Camp next year.
Peace Club: Sunday, 3/8 @ 5-7pm
“Women Peacemakers” will be the focus of the March 8 Peace Club session. The group will meet from 5-7pm at Houston Mennonite Church (1231 Wirt). Ages 6-17 are invited to participate. Videos, games, and crafts have been planned. A light dinner will be served. Bring a friend and enjoy the evening.
New date for December meeting of Peace Club: Dec 15, 2019

Peace Club, Sunday Oct 13
Our first session of Peace Club for the year will be on Sunday, Oct. 13 from 5:00-7:00 at the Mennonite Church at 1231 Wirt Rd. The topic will be Indigenous People of Texas. There will be a special guest, a cooking activity, and a drum circle. Ages 5-18 are invited to attend and bring friends. We hope that your children can join us and celebrate our beautiful diversity of cultures. Please RSVP to Judy Hoffhein, so we can plan accordingly.
Peace Club 2019/20
We are excited to announce that Peace Club will meet every second Sunday from 5:00-7:00 beginning Oct 13. Peace Club is designed to extend the Peace Camp experience throughout the school year. It provides a wonderful opportunity for children to both reconnect with friends from Peace Camp and make new ones. Ages 5-18 are invited to attend and bring friends. Please RSVP to Judy Hoffhein, so we can plan accordingly. Remember what Gandhi said, “If we are to teach peace, we must begin with the children”.
