Vacation bible schools (VBS) offer kids a fun week-long Christian learning experience. Most are very low cost, and sometimes even free, making it an affordable summer experience for all kids. Our kids love VBS!
The listing below will grow in the coming weeks as more church's open their registrations, and information is shared. Since some registrations are opened, I didn't want to wait any longer to share this resource which some of you have already been requesting as they can fill up quickly. All VBS programs welcome the general public. *Updated May 25th, thank you Mac Kid reader Amy and Paula for the new VBS adds!
