So what exactly is VBS? Vacation Bible Schools provide Christian Education for kids, and churches try to make them really fun! Some camps pay for curriculum, so you may see the same graphics at different churches. Some great reasons for sending your child to a VBS camp this summer:
- Church is a big part of your life, and VBS is a way to make church fun for your kiddos.
- You are interested to see if a certain church is a good fit for your family.
- You have been meaning to get the family to church, but just haven’t quite gotten there yet.
- You have decided that church isn’t for you, but would like your children to have a church/Christian experience.
- Most of the VBS camps are free or very low-cost, and it will get your kids out of the house this summer!
Susquehanna Kids is not affiliated with any religious organization, however, VBS summer camps are such great opportunities for enrichment and are open to everyone, so its a great resource for us to share.
