Winter Virtues Camp

Virtues: Compassion

Following the great success of this year’s summer camp, the Bahá’í Community of Beaverton is offering a Virtues Winter Camp for children ages 4 to 12. All are welcome!

Monday and Tuesday
December 27 - 28, 2010
9:30 am to 1:00 pm
Beaverton Baha'i Center

Participants will be welcomed into a warm and accepting space where they will be gently guided to discover the gifts of virtues that live within them. Virtues are qualities of the heart and the content of our character. We foster a safe and supportive environment in which to practice the virtues and explore their meaning. Children will have the opportunity to make new friends and experience unity between spiritual communities.

The Spiritual Virtues Summer Camp content is based on the global work of the Virtues Project™, an initiative honored by the United Nations that provides the principles and tools to empower people to live by their highest values.

“Virtues are what's good about us.”
Sharon, age 6 —from the Virtues Project™
