Vacation Bible School (VBS) is something that many families look forward to each summer. Typically several hours a day for one week, kids enjoy being with their friends, playing games and even learning a thing or two–all in a safe environment. Most VBS camps are very reasonable, at $20-$40 for the week. Many churches even offer assistance or scholarships.
This is also a great opportunity for you to check out our extensive Preschool Directory! It’s not too late to get a spot in a fall preschool and we have links to many programs. Check it out!
