Peace Council

Who Are We?
We are a group of people available to help you with issues that emerge at Camp. 
We are active and compassionate listeners. We are skilled mediators and counselors.  We hold you, your information, and your experience with respect, empathy, confidentiality, and loving attention.
We work with you to resolve discomfort, conflict, and confusion that may happen when interacting closely with others at camp, or that may come up personally for you as an individual.
We strive to create clarity around possible boundary crossings.
We strive to keep you, and the community, safe and honored.

Spaceholders
Available at every workshop, spaceholders have volunteered to prioritize your needs over participation in the particular workshop they are volunteering for.  If you are experiencing something challenging during a workshop, be it personal or interpersonal, and would like support, please reach out to your space holder.

Core Members
Available throughout camp, this group similar to space holders are available to listen, to support, and help resolve challenges that occur at camp.  To address more complex issues, this group will also include members who can act as expert advisors, such as those with licenses or master’s degrees in the field of therapy.

In the event that a participant poses a risk to themselves or others, this group can evaluate and advise the Spokescouncil, which has the authority to remove people from camp.  If you would like help from the Peace Council, please contact peacecouncil@dcnw.org or reach out to a Core Member at camp.
