Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

My child is almost five years old. Can we register him/her for VBS?

Your child must be five years old on (or before) the first day of VBS to participate.

What is the drop-off procedure?

On the first day of VBS, please arrive early (1:30pm) at the front lobby to check in for the week. There the kids will receive the name of their crew leaders, their name tags, and T-shirts. All subsequent days, the kids can be dropped off at the door to the sanctuary after 1:45pm. Make sure your children are checked in by a staff member before you leave so we are aware of their arrival. Activities start at 2pm sharp, so please arrive on time so your kids don't miss a minute of the fun.

What is the pick-up procedure?

Kids must be picked up at 5pm. Please arrive on time. Please include the full names of all persons who you give permission to pick up your kids on the registration form. If you need to include someone after you have registered, you can email that information to susan@thegardenchurch.com.

What should my child bring?

We ask that the kids wear their VBS T-shirts every day. Please do not bring electronic devices, toys, books, etc. VBS is an activity packed, fun filled 3 hours, and we don't want them to bring anything that they may lose and/or may distract them from the learning and fun.

Will there be food at VBS?

We will be providing a light snack and water to the kids during VBS. We take allergies very seriously and will take note of the allergies listed on the registration forms.
