Summer is a great opportunity to enroll your kids in Vacation Bible School! Each camp gives your children the chance to explore their senses, make new friends, and there is a valuable topic to focus on each day. It’s also typically cheap or FREE and full of arts, crafts, games and songs! Most Vacation Bible Schools are welcome to the general public, so you do not have to be members of the church. Your kids will leave the week gaining confidence, friends, and a meaningful message. Browse your area of town and get signed up today! If you are looking for other fun activities for your children this summer, be sure to check out our comprehensive list of Summer Camps.
