Vacation Bible School events are one option for summer camp for kids to have a blast dancing, singing, crafting and meeting new friends.

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.
