Welcome VBS Campers!

VBS, which stands for Vacation Bible School, is a weeklong camp at St. Christopher for children
ages 4 to 11. During VBS, we focus on Bible stories, crafts, games, music, and other activities
centred around our faith. The primary purpose of VBS is to help children learn about the Bible,
grow in their faith, and build their friendship with Jesus.

Our program runs Monday to Friday from 8:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. Each day, the campers focus
on a daily theme supported by a Bible point, Bible story, and buddy.

The camp costs $100 per camper for one week or $180 for two weeks. The fee covers the cost
of materials and one daily snack.

Check below for a typical day at VBS. Please note that there is no morning Mass on Monday.
Thursday is always water day (weather permitting), and we try to fit in a movie during the week.
