For children who have completed Kindergarten through 5th grade
Registration for children and crew leaders begins May 1 at the church or online
Nursery and preschool VBS available for younger children of volunteers
Volunteer opportunities:
Crew Leaders: adults or teens who have completed at least 9th grade. No advance preparation is required for this job except attendance at a crew leader training meeting in June. Crew leaders commit to getting to know the children in their crews, assisting them as needed at the stations, leading them in discussion as directed by station leaders, encouraging good behavior, enabling safe travel in between stations and praying for the children.
Assistant Crew Leaders: youth who have completed at least the 6th grade. They also attend the crew leader training meeting. Duties are to assist the crew leader as needed.
Station Leaders: have the opportunity to teach all the children at VBS each day. Each day’s lesson is presented to four groups of crews as crews and their leaders rotate among the stations. Activities at the craft, drama, games, video and snack stations are all different, so volunteers can teach in their area of interest. Lesson plans and all directions for each 20-minute activity are provided.
Preschool VBS
Many volunteers are needed to ensure that all children at VBS learn more of the stories of God, know the love of Jesus and experience the fellowship of the Holy Spirit in safety. Nursery and preschool VBS are provided for the children of volunteers who are working in all areas of the program so that those with children younger than kindergarten age are able volunteer. The VBS Nursery is staffed by our Mothers’ Morning Out workers and preschool VBS is led by volunteers from the congregation.
Scenes from Avalanche Ranch VBS 2008
We completed two mission projects at the Ranch. Kids made 198 fleece prayer bears to send to children in Africa who have been affected by the AIDS epidemic. Each child at VBS also made a bear to keep that would remindhim/her to pray for the child that will receive the other bear. We also collected food items for the MUST food pantry.
