At Camp Friedenswald we honor the diversity that is present in creation, believing it to be good and an expression of God’s spirit.  To that end, we wholeheartedly affirm, welcome and celebrate all people regardless of race, ethnicity, gender, gender identity, sexual orientation, ability, age, legal status, religion and socioeconomic background. 

We recognize that our society has not been a welcoming place for all people and that we are entangled in webs of injustice and discrimination.  We confess that we are still working to dismantle these systems of injustice within ourselves and our organizational structures.

As followers of Jesus, we strive to be a community where everyone is welcome and named as beloved. We commit both as individuals and as an organization to support those who are vulnerable and marginalized and hope to be a place of refuge and restoration for all campers, staff and visitors.

Adopted by the Camp Board, 2023
