WE NEED YOUR HELP!
The only way to make this camp a truly interfaith experience for the kids is through content and contributions from Interfaith Works’ Program Council and our member faith communities. We aim to support kids in gaining a sense of the diversity of the world’s wisdom traditions. We need your help to make that happen!
