More than a year after the start of a pandemic, we are still being flexible to the current conditions. This summer we are offering not one, not two, but THREE programs for VBS. We are splitting the live program into two sessions to ensure greater distancing during all of our rotations. Preschoolers attend before lunch, while school aged children attend in the afternoon. Please read through our Pandemic Practices before deciding which session is right for your family.
Those who prefer a virtual version can participate through our @ home version. Similar to last year, you will receive a supply kit the week prior to VBS. Your Treasured adventure continues daily through fb live at each of the rotations as well as opening and closing. Those recordings will be available online if you cannot attend at the exact timeframe of the fb live feed.
Since we cannot predict how many will sign up for each session, we will be imposing limits, so sign up early! This ensures we will have enough supplies for both the live sessions as well as the kits for the virtual sessions. The fee is the same for all sessions, and will include a t-shirt in addition to the activity supplies.
Music CDs and Bible Buddies are available for purchase until supplies last. We do not want to deny anyone this experience due to the fee, so if you are in need of assistance, please fill out and submit
this need-based Financial Aid Request Form.
While our volunteer photographers will be capturing the in person programs, we would love for you to submit pictures of your children as they complete their @home quest. Photo release is therefore still required FOR ALL PARTICIPANTS! Read the Photo Release BEFORE you register participants. On the registration form, type your name in the field signifying that you agree to the photo policy.
