LPC

Founded in 1949, the Luethi-Peterson Camps (LPC) are nonprofit co-ed summer camps in different countries whose aim is to foster international understanding by bringing together children from a variety of cultural backgrounds. Members of Luethi-Peterson Camps believe that good human relations and responsible community living can best be learned by personal experience at an early age... LPC believes that strife among people of different national, racial, and religious backgrounds stems from fear of the unknown, that both fear and ignorance can be overcome by bringing together young people from differing backgrounds and giving them the opportunity to live, work, play, and learn together over a period of several weeks in summer camps... Since then, some campsites have been used each summer for many years, availability permitting, because they are particularly well-suited to the needs of LPC. Others have only been available for one summer. LPC has held camps in various European countries..
