Camp focused on Middle East peace shifts aim to divided US

OTISFIELD, Maine (AP) -- The nation's divide has become bad enough that a camp created to help Arab and Israeli teens find common ground is putting an emphasis on hatred and violence in the US.
Seeds of Peace, a lakeside camp in the woods of Maine, has embarked on a pilot program this summer with teenagers from Los Angeles, Chicago and New York City.
Executive Director Leslie Lewin said the goal is to tackle deep-seated racism, anti-refugee and anti-Muslim sentiment, socio-economic issues, gender discrimination and LGBT issues.
