SUMMER CAMP

Every summer, Campamento de la Paz becomes the meeting point for many stories. For two weeks, children and teens gather in Pátzcuaro to play, create, and reflect through theater, clowning, music, puppetry, and other performing arts.

Each year, we explore a social or environmental issue that encourages us to see the world from a new perspective. We believe in art as a way to imagine a better future, in play as a form of learning, and in community as the best place to grow. Every activity invites campers to ask questions, express themselves, and discover the impact they can have on the world around them.

By the end of the two weeks, they leave not just with memories—but with a new way of seeing the world.

Upcoming Camp: July 29 to August 9, 2025
Theme: “Separating and recycling wastes: if we separate it, it’s not trash”.
Inscripciones: 1 julio 2025

YOUTH LEADERSHIP PROGRAM

This program is designed for teens who have grown up with Campamento de la Paz—those kids who came back summer after summer and now return ready to lead, inspire, and support the younger ones.

Throughout the year, they take part in workshops on clowning, photography, puppetry, and other artistic disciplines. These experiences allow them to keep exploring their creativity while building leadership, teamwork, and a sense of responsibility. It’s also how they prepare to step into a new role when the next camp arrives.

Their presence becomes essential to the group. They are role models, and a vital part of a growing community. They carry the seeds of the change we hope to see bloom in Pátzcuaro.

The Peace Camp helped me make new friends and perform without being made fun of.
