Adventure Camp 2023

Prepare for a boatload of excitement at Adventure Camp! Our theme this year is Ocean Commotion and your kids will dive deep into the account of Noah and the Flood from the book of Genesis. They’ll learn to apply the spiritual lessons from Noah’s life to their own. And, along the way, they’ll uncover earthly lessons from the Flood: how all the animals fit on the Ark, how the Flood covered the whole Earth, and how we can still see the effects of this Flood today. They’ll also learn that the flood legends from around the world are based on the true account in Genesis!

What time does Adventure Camp start? Adventure Camp begins every night at 6:30pm.  The registration tables will open up at 6:15pm and will have friendly volunteers at them to get your child registered and to the right place.

Where do I drop off my children? Please bring your child to the main entrance. Registration tables will be located just inside the lobby area. We will have people in our parking lot to point you in the right direction. After registration, your child will wait with their color groups and leaders until 6:30. They will have fun activities while they wait! As a parent or guardian, you may feel free to sit and observe everything as long as your presence is not a disruption to the class, the children or your child.

Do I have to pay anything? Adventure Camp is free to your children and any of their guests!  Each night there is a penny offering competition. 

What time does Adventure Camp end?  VBS ends every night at 9:00pm.

Where do I pick up my children?  

• Pre-School through Kindergarten: Dismissed from their class.  Be sure to find out where your child's class is at registration.  
• 1st through 6th Grades: Dismissed from the fellowship hall.  Please let the worker standing outside the fellowship hall know the name of your child, so they can dismiss them from their group in an orderly fashion.

Do I need to pre-register?  Pre-registration is not a requirement, you can register at the door on every night.  Pre-registration will save you time at enrollment and helps us ensure that each class is adequately staffed.  Please help us plan by registering!

Is it okay if we can't make it every night?  Absolutely!  We would love to see your child at every night possible, but understand the busyness of the modern family schedule.  Below the registration you can find a synopsis of each night and the memory verse they will be working on so that your child can stay up to date, even if they miss a night.

Does my child need to bring anything?  Although they may be asked to bring things to earn points, your child is not required to bring anything to participate.

How does my child earn points?  Your child can earn points for their team through attendance, bringing guests, wearing their team colored shirt, and saying their Bible verses from memory. 

What are points for?  Awards will be given out during the closing program to the individual children who earned the most points throughout the week. Plus, on Thursday night every child receives tickets they've earned and get to spend them at the VBS prize store!

When is the Closing Program?  We will be having a closing performance on Thursday, June 15th at 6:15pm.  We would like to invite you and all of your family and friends to come on out to hear your child sing the songs that they have learned and see them recognized for their efforts. You will also get to see the exciting conclusion of the week-long drama!  Immediately after the program we will be having a Fun Fair including free food, game booths and a bounce house!  Everyone is welcome!
