Building a Restorative Community: Our Camp's Journey Together
Join us for an in-person conversation with camp leadership about how we are strengthening our community through restorative practices. Because this work is grounded in dialogue, reflection, and relationship-building, we are gathering together to create space for thoughtful conversation.
During this session, we’ll share how our camp is working to build a culture rooted in accountability, care, and belonging—where conflicts are addressed thoughtfully and relationships are repaired with intention. Parents and guardians will learn about the principles guiding this work, how these practices show up in camp life, and how they help create a supportive environment for every camper. There will also be time for questions and conversation as we continue this journey together.
