Camp mary ortoncamp mary orton has been serving children and families of the columbus community since 1910, and has been adding new services throughout the years. We offer a variety of summer camps for children, as well as facility rentals for weddings, corporate retreats, and parties. We also offer team building activities for corporate, school, and civic groups, creating an outing for each group's specific needs. These outings result in improved group cohesion, communication, trust and problem-solving skills. These types of activites are also incorporated into our summer camps, providing the opportunity for children to develop leadership skills in a nurturing, natural environment. These offerings are social enterprises and the revenue generated helps support godman guild's mission and programs.
