All Aboard! Vacation Bible School July 12-16, 2021. 9am-noon.
Children aged 3.5-current grade 4 are invited to join us for an outstanding week long Catholic faith-centered program with music, games, snack, crafts, Bible stories, and time to encounter God in prayer and service! This year the theme is “ROCKY RAILWAY: JESUS’ POWER PULLS US THROUGH.” $40 per child, $80 family maxi-mum. Registration fee includes 1 CD per family and 1 t-shirt per child.
Youth currently in grade 5 will be placed as a Jr. Assistant in a VBS crew of children aged 3.5-6. They will have a special role in leadership, including having a different color t-shirt than the participants, helping the children participate, running errands for the Adult Crew Leader and more! $20 per child Jr. Assistants must attend volun-teer training on July 7th or 11th.
Youth currently in grades 6-8 will be placed as a Jr. Assistant in one of the following stations: Craft, Music, Stage, Games, Snack, Encounter, Bible Time. List your top 3 preferences on the registration form, but it is understood that youth may need to be placed where they are needed most. Jr. Assistants will be given a special t-shirt color that will set them apart. $20 per child. Jr. Assistants must attend volunteer training on either July 7th or 11th.
High School Youth act as either Station Assistants, aiding the Adult Station Leader in prep work, guiding the children, and cleanup; or as a VBS assistant, willing to go wherever needed depending on the day. Tasks may include running errands, helping kids who are having a hard time, helping crews who need an extra hand, etc. No fee, but you still get a t-shirt! Youth volunteers must attend volunteer training on either July 7th or 11th. Youth 18 and older must be Virtus certified.
Adult Crew Leaders lead a small group (crew) of students aged 3-6 or grades 1-4 through the day. All groups begin and end at stage, then rotate through the Stations: Bible, Craft, Games, Snack, Music, Encounter. Please note in your registration if you’d prefer to work with ages 3-6 or grades 1-4. Your crew is always with other crews who have adult leaders. Your main job is to keep the children focused, respectful and par-ticipating in each station that you visit.
Adult bonus #1—free babysitting for the children of volunteers is offered each day. Children receive a daily snack and go out-side for part of each day. Adult bonus #2—Adults who volunteer for the week have the option to take 50% off registration fees for their children. Use code VOLUNTEER when registering online. All adult volunteers must be Virtus certified, and must attend a volunteer training on either July 7th or 11th.
