At Shipwrecked VBS, kids discover how Jesus rescues us through life’s storms. Shipwrecked is filled with incredible Bible-learning experiences kids see, hear, touch, and even taste! Sciency-Fun Gizmos™, team-building games, cool Bible songs, and tasty treats are just a few of the standout activities that help faith flow into real life.
Since everything is hands-on, kids might get a little messy. Be sure to send them in play clothes and safe shoes.
Plus, we’ll help kids discover how to see evidence of God in everyday life — something we call God Sightings. Get ready to hear that phrase a lot!
