What to know about 20201 VBS at Calvary

We're excited to offer VBS in person this summer. But it will come with some changes.

• Our registration will be limited to 50 participants (16 preschoolers and 34 elementary-aged students).

• Preschool participants (3 & 4-year-olds) must be 3 before the start of VBS and must be potty trained. Participants who turn five before VBS but have not completed kindergarten will be part of the preschool program.

• Notice, also, that VBS this year is from 9 AM to 12 PM instead of its usual 9 AM to 2 PM.

• The cost is $20 per child. For that, your child will receive a t-shirt, numerous crafts to take home, and a CD with all the VBS music on it (1 per household).

• We will make use of some larger indoor spaces, such as our Sanctuary, but parts of VBS will take place outside under tents. Still, please send your child(ren) with sunscreen on.

• VBS also includes snack time, parents will need to send along a snack each day.

• Be sure to also send along a water bottle to help your child(ren) stay hydrated.

​

Masks & Other Safety Measures (UPDATED)

• Parts of VBS will happen outside this year. We ask that participants wear masks (even preschoolers) at all while indoors. Masks are optional while outside during VBS.

• Hand sanitizer will be available and used often in addition to hand washing.

• We will also limit, as much as is reasonable, the sharing of supplies between participants.

• Parents are asked to do the at-home symptom checklist developed by Waukesha County for parents to use before sending their children to school.
