VBS INFORMATION

School Age Crews FOR KIDS ENTERING K-6TH

VBS Crews are designed for small groups of kids to share the week with one adult crew leader,
and one assistant crew leader.
All School-Age Crews are a combination of kids ENTERING:
* Kindergarten & First
* Second & Third
* Preteens Entering Fourth-Sixth. 
We promise that combined ages really do work great! Kids enjoy being in combined age groups; we see them working together, helping one another, and forming unique friendships. Our ticket system allows you to register friends and siblings together into the same age-appropriate groups.  If a sibling or friend is in another age-group crew remember, all kids gather for open and closing worship!  It is likely your child will still hang out with his or her siblings and friends while enjoying making new friends too!

Preschool Crew FOR FRIENDS IN THEIR PREK YEARS
For our PREK Friends who are 4 and 5 years old, an amazing preschool leader and at least 1 wonderful volunteer will love and guide VBS kids through three days filled with age-appropriate fun and discovery. 
For our PreK Friends who are 2 and 3 years old, a parent or guardian should plan to enjoy two days of family fun VBS with their youngsters. 

OLDER KIDS (7TH THROUGH 12TH GRADE) ARE INVITED TO VBS TOO AS VOLUNTEERS!
VBS IS A GREAT WAY TO EARN SERVICE HOURS!

Parents can also be involved by volunteering or participating in a nightly parent experience during the event!

VBS REGISTRATION INCLUDES A TEE SHIRT, FUN TAKE HOME PRIZES, DINNER, AND ALL VBS MATERIALS. VBS is FREE for all!!

If you'd like to make a donation toward VBS costs or sponsor a child,
we base our plans on $50 per child for the week.
