Vacation Bible School (VBS) is something that many families look forward to each summer. Typically kids go for 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.
