VBS Camp
Pittman Park UMC VBS Camp 2023
Christmas is about Christ
What do Rudolph, Frosty, Charlie Brown, Scrooge and the Grinch have to do with Jesus? Find out at Christmas Camp VBS this summer! Join us June 19-23 from 9 a.m.-noon each day. We’ll gather for a large group time of song, dance and drama, then enjoy a snack before splitting up into smaller groups for Christmas crafts, “Reindeer games,” a science lesson and a bible lesson. Christmas Camp is free, but space is limited. Register early to ensure your child can attend.
How wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ.
Who is Christmas Camp for?
Christmas Camp VBS is for children ready to enter grades K-5th. Registration is required.
What if my child has special needs?
Children with special needs will have a dedicated facilitator to aid their inclusion at Christmas Camp VBS. Families will be able to contact their facilitator directly.
Can I drop off my child early?
Childcare is available beginning at 7:45 a.m. for a fee. Two caregivers will play games on campus with early arrivers until camp starts.
