What is VBS?
“VBS” stands for “Vacation Bible School.” Local churches offer VBS programming during the summer, like a day camp for kids.
Programming is generally driven by an annual theme from a VBS starter kit. It’s common to see several churches select the same theme for the summer.
Most programs are offered for elementary school aged kids (K-5), although some include older or younger children as well.
