Join us for engaging faith lessons, high energy games, Bible stories, fun crafts, lively music, yummy snacks, and so much more!

BUT ACT NOW – WE MAXED OUT MANY GRADES LAST YEAR!**
See below for details about the special programming we offer during VBS for Preschoolers and for 5th & 6th graders to meet them where they are!
For Preschoolers: CGS @ VBS
We’re so happy to offer VBS to a younger set of children! They will participate in the same Games, Crafts, Music, and Snacks as the older grades, but will be welcomed into our Catechesis of the Good Shepherd (CGS) Atrium for faith formation instead of the regular VBS classes. Catechesis of the Good Shepherd is a hands-on faith formation experience like none other, and we know your children will love entering the Atrium room for some very special prayer work. Preschool ages are 3-5, not yet entering Kindergarten (Kindergarteners join regular VBS!). Must be potty-trained, or parents must be on site.
For 5th & 6th Graders: VBS with a Twist
We always want to offer content that engages our youth at their level, so our older children in this transitional stage between elementary and middle grades will experience an amped up version of VBS made just for them! They will have more in-depth Bible study during their faith lessons, a service project or two (including helping some of our younger VBSers one-on-one with their crafts!), opportunity for deeper prayer, plus fun team building and leadership activities – all fitting neatly within the VBS framework.
Fees
$50 for one child | $90 for two children | $135 for three children | $180 four Children

Volunteers
We are always in need of adult, high school-aged and even middle school-aged (entering 7th and up) volunteers for VBS!
All volunteers aged 18 and older must be Virtus-trained.
Students may use service hours for any club/school/sacrament prep requirements: Minimum of 20 hours!
