A summer camp is attempting to do what armies often cannot: make peace.
Israeli teenagers will be in the same cabins as Palestinian youths during the two-week summer camp in what might normally sound like a recipe for disaster. But the international multifaith camp, which starts today, will focus on teaching teens about conflict resolution.
Only 50 teens are accepted into the camp in upstate New York, which helps participants use faith to understand and reconcile differences.
