History
"Children's Peace Camp" was founded in 1993 by Susan Hopkins, Chris Lamm, Betsy Gibbs, and Tom Chiaromonte under the Women's League for Peace and Freedom and OCAEYC. Originally at Fullerton Arboretum, Peace Camp taught children up until age 6. Those kids grew up and wanted to keep coming to camp, so they dropped the "Children's" and increased the age range of camp. Now operating at Irvine Regional Park, Peace Camp allows campers ages 5-17 and volunteers 18 and older. With a history of social justice guest speakers, peace education curriculum, and lots of fun outdoors Peace Camp has continued to teach children, adults, and the community about peace.
