Young Peacemakers Academy
Young Peacemakers Academy
Messiah University’s Young Peacemakers Academy seeks to engage high school students who are interested in building and sustaining peace in a local and global context and provide them with an understanding of the Christian foundations of peacemaking.
The cost for the week will be $349 - this includes lessons, food, travel, and housing for the entire camp as students learn and practice peacemaking.
Scholarships are available and Messiah employees automatically receive a 10% discount.
Please complete the scholarship application BEFORE completing your registration form.
If you are eligible for a scholarship, you will be notified and provided a discount code to use when registering.
The registration form will be due May 31, 2024.
The Young Peacemakers Academy will serve as a model for participants to see how Christian organizations can contribute to peace – in their personal lives and in community. In contrast to the narrative that casts religion as a source of division and strife in contemporary society, campers will learn about Peacemaking and Christian foundations for peace!
