Vacation Bible School Registration
Registration for this year’s Vacation Bible School is now open ! This half-day camp for children finishing Junior Kindergarten through grade 5 will run from 9 am to 12:30 August 12-16 at St Anne Church (268 East Ave) for children connected with both St Anne and St Joseph parishes.
Our theme this year is SCUBA: Diving into friendship with God. We’re ready to dive deep on an underwater adventure through 5 days of music, games, science projects, prayer, faith exploration and great snacks.
Registration is online at stanneskitchener.ca/vbs, and fills up very quickly each year. The cost per camper is $50 for the week, with a discount available for families with 3 or more siblings. Financial assistance is available for those who need it – do not let money be the reason your children miss out on this wild and wet adventure! More details about registration and payment are available on the website.
We are also looking for about 30 youth volunteers finishing grade 6 through 12 to run all stations and activities at camp. Training is provided, and volunteer hours are available for high school students. Please let me know if someone in your family is interested in helping. This is a great way for those who have ‘aged out’ of VBS to stay connected and help make the experience great for younger campers. The youth volunteer application is available to download at stanneskitchener.ca/vbs.
Parents and grandparents are welcome to join in on the fun, too! While our youth leaders run the stations and small groups during VBS, we need adults for additional supervision, snack preparation, and general excitement building. We also love to have help building our sets and decorations. If you can help us make this a sand-sational year, please contact Mary Forcier at mforcier@hamiltondiocese.com. All adult volunteers are required to complete a Police Check and Volunteer Screening.
