Vacation Bible Camp 2020

At Holy Infant, Vacation Bible Camp is one of our most beloved summer traditions. As a parish that places great value on intergenerational faith formation, VBC is one of the highlights of our year, bringing together adult volunteers, middle and high school youth, and children to celebrate our shared faith and grow together!
 
This year, Vacation Bible Camp will look different as we balance the need to gather as a community and the need to safeguard the health of our members, especially the most vulnerable. We are working to provide a program that is safe while maintaining the distinctive elements of VBC that make it the most wonderful week of the summer.
 


VBC 2020 Overview
 
Vacation Bible Camp will take place July 12 -16 and will consist of both in-person and virtual activities. To kick off the week, families will be able to sign up for an in-person, mini Rocky Railway experience. We will have several time slots available and will cap the number of participants so that groups remain small. Parents will be required to stay with their children and we will practice social distancing as well as other measures to ensure the safety of all participants. During this event, families will enjoy a high energy, exciting taste of each VBC station as well as a pre-packaged themed snack. Stations include Sing and Play Express, Bible Adventures, Locomotion Games, and Imagination Station!
 
Families will also take home a kit of materials to use for the remainder of the week. This kit will include everything you need to enjoy our virtual VBC days, including recipes for snacks, gizmos and gadgets for each day, special bandanas, and other surprises! Families that choose not to participate in the in-person kick-off experience will be able to pick up their kits at the church.
 
VBC days 2 through 5 will feature pre-recorded videos of our excellent Holy Infant station leaders and teens leading children through each exciting station. These videos will be livestreamed at a certain time each day of the week so that families can anticipate a fun, virtual experience with the Holy Infant community complemented by materials for at-home activities in their VBC kit!
 
Registration is available here. The cost for participants will be $20 and the cost for youth volunteers will be $10.  We hope you join us!
 
Rocky Railway Program
 
In an engaging and fun way, the Rocky Railway VBC experience helps children learn that Jesus helps us do hard things, he gives us hope, he helps us be bold, he lets us live forever, and he helps us be good friends. Through railway-themed song and dance, science explorations, and other innovative activities, families together with our teen and adult volunteers will be encouraged and filled with joy!
