The camp has more than 7,300 alumni who have become involved in dozens of peacekeeping initiatives.
It has included Americans since 2000, Kapenga said.
Officials are carefully monitoring the situation in the Middle East where reports indicate that the violence in Israel and Palestine has claimed dozens of lives, including children.
“It’s rough. Our alumni and staff living in the area are highly impacted by the situation,” Kapenga said.
Tim Wilson, 80, senior adviser and director of the Maine Seeds program, has been with the program from its inception. He was formerly the director of Seeds of Peace Camp in Maine and Seeds of Peace Center for Coexistence in Jerusalem until 2006.
