VBS FAQ's
If my child is of Kindergarten age but did not attend Kindergarten and will be in Kindergarten this fall, can he/she come to VBS? No. VBS is for kids who have completed Kindergarten and will be in First Grade this fall.
What will my kids do all night? See the above schedule. Kids are placed in small groups with one volunteer leader and one volunteer helper. Small groups spend the night together.
Can my child be with their friend? We will do our best to honor friend requests made by WED. JUNE 17. Note: kids are grouped by grade. Please let us know if you have a special circumstance.
Do you serve snacks during VBS? Due to food allergies, we do not provide snacks. However, we provide opportunities to drink water throughout the night.
If my child can’t attend each night of VBS, can they still attend? Absolutely! Simply include this information on your registration.
Can I drop off my child late or pick them up early? We strongly encourage kids to participate in the entire night. If there is a special circumstance, please reach out to discuss it.
Do kids go outside? Kids in K-3 will not go outside. Kids in Grades 4-5 will spend part of the night outside, weather permitting.
What do you do in case of inclement weather? Please read this document.
Are volunteers background checked? Yes. To serve in Beran Kids, in any capacity, volunteers need to complete a Family Ministry Application and Background Check. Many of our VBS volunteer positions also require church membership. Many of the Berean staff and volunteers are CPR- and first-aid certified. There is also a trained nurse on-site during VBS.
Will the building be secured during the VBS program? Yes. Safety-trained personnel will be on site. Anyone not involved in the VBS program will need to vacate the building during VBS.
