- Every class and event involving children, youth, and vulnerable adults requires 2 adults present at all times.
- All staff and children working with children, youth and vulnerable adults must be background checked and go through Safe Sanctuaries training.

At Lake Oswego United Methodist Church we partner with parents, grandparents and all guardians of children in teaching, strengthening and empowering them in their faith journey from a progressive United Methodist perspective. Our staff and volunteers strive to create an environment that is safe, fun, and inclusive to all.

LOUMC Peacemaker’s Summer Camp is a place where everyone belongs!
This summer let the adventure begin as your child has fun learning and practicing the skills of being a peacemaker!
LOUMC Peacemaker’s Camp will offer a unique opportunity for campers to develop essential life skills that contribute to their growth as peacemakers. Through engaging activities such as play, discussion, creative arts, music, and community service, campers learn to express themselves, collaborate with others, and take care of the Earth. As they navigate these experiences, campers not only build confidence in their ability to affect positive change but also deepen their understanding of the intrinsic value of peace—within themselves, in their relationships with others, and in their role as caretakers of the Earth. This holistic development helps cultivate a generation that is equipped to lead with empathy, resilience, and a commitment to a harmonious future.
