86: Planning a lasting summer camp experience, even in 2021, with Marty Brown

As The Salvation Army California South Divisional Camp Director, it’s been a tough year for Marty Brown.

Imagine: A sprawling camp without campers. 

He’s on the show to talk about the long-lasting impact of a week at camp—and what is planned for this summer as we transition to a post-pandemic world. Because, while it may not look like a traditional Salvation Army summer in many ways, camp is back on across the West this year.

Marty has attended camp, worked on staff at camp and now oversees The Salvation Army’s camps in Calabasas and Big Bear, California. He holds a master of theological studies from Tyndale University and Seminary. 

And as he’ll tell you, in between the camp fun and the food, most importantly, kids at camp learn that God loves them and they experience that love from so many people who are at camp specifically to care for them.
