Vacation Bible Camps are BACK for 2021!! Not all are back, of course, but several churches are having in-person camps again, so it’s a great start!
I loved attending Vacation Bible School at my church when I was growing up, so I make it a priority to send my kids to one each year. They have had great experiences when attending them as well and I love that they are learning about God and the Bible, having fun and making new friends. There are 20 Vacation Bible Camp options in the Green Bay area this summer—many of which are FREE–so consider signing your kids up for a VBS/VBC program this year! Some of the camps also offer scholarships or financial assistance if needed, so feel free to contact them directly with any questions about that. There are camps running in June, July and August. Camps are listed in chronological order. A couple are still TBD, so those are listed at the bottom until this is confirmed.
(Also, if you know of a VBC/VBS that is missing from the list, please send the info to me at lindy@letsgomommy.com.)
