Berea Leadership Experience – Partner with Us!
Forming leaders who can successfully navigate the kinds of everyday conflicts we all experience.
In 2016, friends of Berea College professor Michelle Tooley gathered to envision a way to honor her life of commitment to peace and justice. They developed a day camp for local children that would give them practical tools for channeling inner peace and engaging in nonviolent problem solving.
Berea Leadership Experience is a powerful day camp led by a com-munity collaboration of churches, non-profits, and government groups. Forty-eight campers, entering grades 2 to 8, joined the three summers before the pandemic to practice empathy and build connection through experiential learning. A parent of a previous camper said, “The content of the curriculum is vital to children and is not provided in other camps in Berea.”
Your gift will make a camp experience possible for a child and support the important work of a local leader.
A gift of $60 sponsors a camper for the week. Donations are processed through our partner, Union Church. Give here BLE Donation or via check to Union Church, 200 Prospect Street, Berea, KY 40403, with BLE in the memo line.
