ARRIVAL INFORMATION

Families with registered learners have already received emails with their VBS group assignment and check-in/check-out details. Parents, when you arrive, please enter through the church doors and stop first in the narthex (lobby) to pick up your child’s nametag. Parents will then accompany children into the church sanctuary to sign them in with their group leader, where each VBS day begins and ends. Questions? Contact VBS director Aunnee Trampe at vbs@stpaulsdp.org

At Rainforest Falls VBS, children will play, explore, create, and learn about God's love and promises! 


This summer, step through the mist into Rainforest Falls, overflowing with wild waterfalls, towering trees and colorful creatures. Beneath a canopy of chattering birds and howling monkeys, kids plunge into a life-long adventure, discovering the nature of God, and exploring what it means to be rooted in relationship with their creator, a safe place in life’s storms.


VBS at St. Paul's is filled with fun, friendship, music, amazing games, activities, snacks, and creatively-presented Bible lessons! 


"Bless the Lord, all his works, in all places of his dominion. Bless the Lord, O my soul!" Psalm 103:22
