The Game of Village

The Game of Village

Share

In the The Game of Village children come together to create a community in miniature. They dream together, decide together and build together.

Village is played in schools as curricular enrichment, as a summer camp, and in after-school settings.

2025 was a BIG year for PEEPS !

This past summer a group of intrepid peeps and people created the town of “Not-So-Great Britain” at the Chalet Barn in Nelson, NH, the same location where the first Village summer camp was held over 50 years ago. Despite the name, the town that was dreamed, negotiated and co-constructed was pretty great!

A small gift to a small project has a large impact! Help us build PEEP towns and grow the Game of Village through a contribution to our year-end fundraising campaign.

Every gift counts!

$10 will provide the materials necessary (yarn, pipe cleaners, clay, cloth and creativity) that will bring 5 PEEPs to life.

$50 will support a PEEP Community College course (on solar electricity, weaving, meeting moderation, …)

$100 will support the materials for 5 PEEP houses (or castles, or mansions, or performing arts centers, or house boats, or ….!)

$500 matches our average campership award and will allow a very deserving kid to experience the joy and learning of Village.

Your support means the world to us – worlds small and large in fact! Together, we can continue to create memorable experiences for children at our Nelson NH summer camp. Your generosity truly makes The Game of Village thrive.
