Please read the VBS FAQs below, before registering a child.

1. What age does my child have to be in order to participate?
· VBS is designed for ages 4 years old through completed 6th grade. Our 4 year old and 5 year old program is limited so register early to reserve their spot!
· If your younger child will not be old enough, they are still able to participate if a parent or grandparent volunteers on site the week of VBS. We have many fun and exciting volunteer opportunities available and are happy to talk with you further to help you find a place of service!

2. Will you close registration?
· Yes, registration will be open online March 10-June 20. After that, you can still register your child onsite, the first day of VBS.

3. What is the drop-off/pick-up procedure?
· Doors open at 8:45 a.m. We ask that you accompany your child to their drop off location and not let them enter alone. You will be given a “Pick-Up Card. It must be presented in order for your child to be released at the end of VBS. If the person picking up your child does not have this card, they must show a picture of the card on their phone, or show an ID at the Registration Desk and be listed on your authorized pick up list. A new Pick-Up card will be issued to that individual.
Children ages completed 1st-completed 6th grade can stay for our Extreme Sports Camp. This extended program allows them to stay until 3:30pm! Space is limited so make sure you register today!

4. Do I need to send a snack and drink?
· Yes! Please pack a peanut free snack and drink that is labeled with your child’s name.

5. How do I let you know about any special needs my child has?
· You can indicate on the “Allergies, Medical, or Special Needs” field on the registration. We do not wish to single your child out; we would only like to notify the volunteers your child will be placed with so they can made be aware.

6. Can I purchase a t-shirt and music CD before VBS week?
·Yes, the music CDs and “Children’s” t-shirts (ages 4 years old- completed 4th grade) or a “Teen” t-shirts (for students completed 5th or 6th grade) will be available for purchase on Sunday, April 28 during both church services and the Sunday prior to VBS, June 23 during both services. Our VBS store will be open the week of VBS and will carry music CDs, t-shirts, books and fun themed items for purchase!

-There are many areas of service available for volunteers who have completed the 7th grade through adult. Please click the volunteer link on the VBS information page and submit your information. You will be contacted by one of our Volunteer Directors to help you find the best place of service.
