The Lessons of Peace Camp

Katie Hamel

One of the most influential experiences of my life was attending Peace Camp. Peace Camp is a camp I go to every summer where we learn any number of things. We learn how to protest non-violently, we learn how we can help create a peaceful environment, and we also learn about what is going on in the political world at the present time.
