In this episode of the Healing the City Podcast, Pastor Eric is joined by Mark and special guest Jessica Dennes—creator of Makers Camp—for a lively and heartfelt conversation. The three reflect on the upcoming week-long event held each June at The Village Church, a place where art supplies, cardboard creations, and storytelling collide in joyful chaos.

Their voices carry a sense of anticipation as they revisit memorable moments from past camps. There’s laughter over what went sideways, and a quiet appreciation for the things that went unexpectedly right. They explore how Makers Camp continues to embody two of the Village’s core values: Creativity—the kind that welcomes both mess and magic—and Accessibility—a commitment to building spaces where everyone, regardless of background or ability, feels invited to participate.

Whether you're a longtime Villager or simply curious about what happens when a community commits to imagination and inclusion, this episode offers a beautiful glimpse into something more than a summer camp—it’s a celebration of belonging.
