The St. John the Divine Family Retreat will be held at Tejas Camp and Retreat in Giddings, Texas. We are excited to welcome speaker Melina Luna Smith, founder of StoryMakers NYC. Retreat activities will be designed for families with younger children 3yrs-3rd grade and their younger/older siblings with childcare offered at certain times. Space is limited!
Melina Luna Smith is the founder of StoryMakers NYC, clergy wife, and mother of two. Drawing on her background in Social Work and Child Development and her eye for design, she imagined and developed Creative Arts Camp, a week-long outreach program to the Gramercy and East Village NYC neighborhoods. Each camp focused on one of the great stories of the Bible with Melina’s trademark commitment to whimsy and beauty. Eventually, with her team of writers, artists and jacks-of-all-trades, Melina transformed Creative Arts Camp into StoryMakers, a series of zines to foster connection and more fun for Sunday school programs and families.
