As summer quickly approaches, families in Indian River County are making plans for their kids to have special experiences throughout the summer months. One option for kids during the summer are local Vacation Bible Schools (VBS). These typically week-long programs hosted by churches give children an opportunity to explore faith, make new friends, and enjoy fun activities such as crafts and music. The other great thing about Vacation Bible School? It is usually free or low-cost, making it accessible to most families.
I've rounded up Vacation Bible Schools and faith-based camps in Vero Beach and Sebastian to make it easy to plan out your summer. Churches are still planning and releasing their information, so I will continue to add to this guide! If you know of a VBS I've missed, please send me the information at alisone@macaronikid.com.
