“What drew me to Marydell was being able to expose my students to the outdoors and an environment completely different from what they are used to. Most of my participants are not use to seeing so much greenery and they do not get to go outside their neighborhood. I felt the beautiful grounds at Marydell were a great experience for the children. I wanted also to provide a safe space for my participants to go swimming.

Marydell is a special place because the staff has always been very kind and caring towards the children and my staff. It is very well maintained and the children really love it there. They get to learn a lot about nature. The hikes, beach walks, and natural crafts make our inner city day camp feel almost like a traditional sleep away camp. The addition of the garden has been a wonderful experience for the children as well.”

“I was looking for a place that would provide enough class room space for small group learning for over 250 students. I found Marydell an ideal space and am using four of the buildings, providing room for 30 groups of students, each with between 6 to 8 student groups.

Marydell is a holy place, with a rich history of tradition and service. Nature surrounds us, evergthing is in beautiful harmony, plants, trees, and animals. Each season has it’s own beauty. Members of Administration and Staff are welcoming and hospitable. You will feel peace and harmony when you are here.“
