This free event is perfectly designed for young explorers, ages 4 through rising 6th graders, offering them a unique blend of fun, learning, and faith development.
Our SCUBA VBC isn’t just any ordinary camp. It’s a deep dive into a world of creativity and exploration, where children will engage in a variety of activities like crafts, games, science projects, music, and skits, all woven together with creative Bible lessons. These activities are specially curated to help children discover that Jesus wants a personal relationship with them and to anchor their hearts in His Word. Despite the ocean’s vastness, our camp space is limited, so be sure to register your adventurers early!
We believe in teaching children the value of giving and sharing God’s love. That’s why, during our camp, we will be collecting daily offerings to support Mission Haiti, aiming to provide quality Christian education to underprivileged children. It’s a wonderful way for kids to learn about generosity and the impact they can make in the world.
Every day at SCUBA camp kicks off with an exciting rally in our Family Life Center, creating an energizing start to a day full of faith and fun. Children will then navigate through the day in smaller groups, ensuring personal attention and a safer environment as they rotate through the engaging stations we’ve set up. And parents, you’re invited to dive into the fun during the last 20 minutes of each day, where we’ll have a special interactive closing session that you and your children will love.
For more details about SCUBA Vacation Bible Camp or any questions you might have, please contact Eric Gerken, our Director of Youth and Family Ministries, at 402.620.5877 or by email. Don’t let your child miss out on this deep-sea dive into faith, fun, and fellowship this summer!
