As summer begins and the regular school doors close it is time to think about registering children into vacation bible schools. Fortunately there are many choices in the coastal Alabama region but the popular programs will fill up fast.

Vacation Bible School (VBS) is a popular summer outreach program for children, often hosted by churches. It's typically a week or two-long event focused on faith formation through fun, creative activities centered around the Bible. VBS can include Bible stories, games, crafts, music, and skits, all designed to engage kids in a positive learning environment.
