Godly Play is Christian formation program used ecumenically. Coming from Montessori school of teaching, it focuses on helping children learn and interact with Bible stories.
Activities
Day camp activities are designed to be challenging, fun and appropriate for the age groups, helping each camper mature in a number of ways. Campers can participate in; swimming, hiking, and field games. Arts and crafts, songs, drumming and skits allow for creative expression, and a variety of games teach life skills.

Day Camp Staff
A well-trained, staff is the key to a positive camping experience for your child. Camp Marshall leader, volunteers, and staff undergo a criminal background check. Day camp leaders from Camp Marshall are 18 years or older and chosen for their maturity, skills, patience, enthusiasm and desire to be good role models for children. Each staff member undergoes professional training prior to the camp season, emphasizing safety, child growth and development, and group dynamics.
Local Volunteers
Volunteer staff from the local church will work with our professional camp staff to assist with supervision and ensure a high ratio of leaders to youth. Some of these volunteers may be under the age of 18, but our site leader, Robyn Barnes, from Camp Marshall will provide them with professional support. All adult volunteers undergo a criminal background check and training.
Facilities
In addition to using the facilities of your local church we will take day campers to different areas of your local community. We will provide parents with a full schedule at the beginning of the week so you can see where and when we will explore different areas of the community. There are sure to be trips to the local pool/swimming areas.
When is camp over?
The program week will end on Friday afternoon at 5:00 p.m. Parents will be invited to a light BBQ dinner at 4:30 p.m. to visit with staff and to give campers a chance to share what they did for the week. The rest of the week Day campers are to be picked up between 4:30 and 5:30 p.m.
Parents should come inside when they pick up their child . We like to give parents positive feedback every day about the day your camper had. That daily affirmation is important and we believe vital to a successful experience.
Safety–our Priority
The health and safety of each camper is our primary concern. Each volunteer leader is trained in safety and places an emphasis on accident prevention by supervising all activities closely. A staff person certified in CPR/First aid and a Lifeguard will always be available. In the event of emergencies we will transport youth to the local hospital and contact parents/guardians immediately.
What about insurance?
In the event of an accident or illness, where any expenses are incurred while involved in Day Camp, the primary responsibility is the parent(s) or guardian(s) insurance.
