A Simply WordKidz Musical Production Notes by HEIDI PETAK SUMMARY It's the first summer morning of Prayground, a church day camp, and the old-fashioned Coach Walker is about to be schooled in cell phone technology. But as the kids teach him about apps and text codes and selfies, he teaches them about the most important call—the call of God on our lives. With humor, fun, and unforgettable songs, this little musical blends the modern cell phone obsession with biblical truth in an engaging way that will have you laughing, praying and singing all at the same time!
