On Earth Peace co-sponsors Intergenerational Workcamp.

On Earth Peace is co-sponsoring an Intergenerational Workcamp in partnership with the Church of the Brethren’s Workcamp Ministry. The Intergenerational Workcamp will take place Aug. 2-9 at the Brethren Service Center in New Windsor, Md.

"This workcamp is a time for different generations to gather together and share their perspective--all while working side-by-side in faith," said an announcement. "Participants of all ages will come together to serve, share, and learn how we continue the peace witness of the church, as members of a global community." The workcamp will be held at the Brethren Service Center, where participants will work in service projects that have local, national, and global impacts, including SERRV and the Church of the Brethren’s distribution center for material relief following disasters.

Cost is $285. Go to www.brethren.org/site/PageServer?pagename=grow_youth_ministry_workcamps_registration for online registration.
