VBS!

There are people who surf the schedules of local Vacation Bible Schools and enroll their kids in every one so they have free part time babysitting for the summer.  While I'm not an advocate of VBS for summer day care, I am an advocate of having kids in a positive environment with loads of fun.  VBS is a great way for kids to learn about Christ and spend some time making new friends. 

Most are usually 3 hours per day but a few offer  evening VBS. (date night, anyone?) Typically programs are for pre-k to 6th grade but some differ so be sure to check your registration information.  I guarantee that you can find a Vacation Bible School that is close to home and works with your schedule.  They are all over the place.  If you need help locating one, send me a message.  I'll be happy to research. 

Listed below are just a few of the programs that I am familiar with.  Each of these have a reputation for running a GREAT VBS program that the kids really enjoy.
