Vacation Bible School 2025: True North

VBS is a Totally Catholic program that will help kids begin and / or deepen their faith with Jesus. Kids will discover how much God's love is a part of their daily life. Our adult and teen volunteers will help guide the children from station to station all morning. It will be a week full of fun, incredible music and an awesome environment that points kids to Jesus!
 
At True North Totally Catholic VBS, your child(ren) will learn that Jesus is a faithful friend we can always trust. The kids will go on an ultimate Alaskan adventure where northern lights glow over majestic mountains, racing rivers and glistening glaciers. As kids trek the tundra, they'll explore how easy it is to lose sight of what's true in our world today. Pointing them toward Jesus, True North VBS will show them that He is a faithful friend we can always trust. He is our True North!

We would love for all the children of our parish and community to attend our VBS program. We are able to offer this program thanks to all the volunteers that so graciously give of their time to make this program a success and help with the safety of our young participants. The more volunteers we get, the more participants we are able to accept. Please prayerfully consider giving of your time during the week of this camp.

What does the VBS week look like? The week is filled with games, experiments, songs and prayers that will reinforce the message that God is a perfect friend to each of us.

Each day's theme is connected to important elements of our Catholic faith.
