A "Bibletimes Experience" is a Bible era village involving children, youth, and adults, is generally held in mid to late June. For 2019, Marketplace will be held on June 25 - 27. Over 300 children, youth, and adults participate each year in this event with leadership from numerous surrounding churches of all denominations. Marketplace is an inter-generational Bible times village where all ages experience learning the Bible for themselves with "hand's-on" opportunities. It is not only for children and youth to learn, but also for the adults to experience and learn the Bible as well.

Every volunteer must have a current Safe Sanctuaries certificate, and present a copy to the camp coordinator for the camp you are assisting. 

Safe Sanctuaries is the name commonly given by local United Methodist Annual Conferences and local churches to their individual efforts to make conference, district, and local church programs welcoming and safe for children, youth, and vulnerable adults.

A summary of Safe Sanctuaries can be found at -- https://kyumc-www.brtsite.com/safesanctuaries 

A series of six videos to watch and a quiz to take and pass, can be found at --

Certification is valid for three years, if you participated in the 2018 training, you are current for 2019.
