- Do you offer the music CD's or DVD's for sale?
We will have a limited number of CD's and DVD's available at the end of the week of VBS. If you would like to purchase one, please visit the Registration area (preferably after the first day).
- Can my son/daughter's non-member friend pair up with my son/daughter?
Yes. On the registration form just put their buddy's first and last name. We will do all we can to accommodate these requests.
- Can my 6-year-old pair up with my 5-year-old?
Our material is age appropriate for children based upon whether they have already attended school. The children in Preschool and Kindergarten crews are generally about the same age. Elementary crews (children entering 1st - 6th grade) are multi-age crews. However, you are the best judge of your children's maturity level. If you would like your children to be in the same crew, please indicate on the registration form which of the following is your preference: 1) Your 6 year old to be put in a crew with your 5 year old and other children who are 5 and / or are entering Kindergarten; 2) Your 5 year old to be placed in a crew with your 6 year old and other elementary children (who could be as old as eleven).
- My son/daughter can't make the morning session on the first two days; can they go to the evening session for day 1 and day 2 and then do the morning session for the rest of the week?
Yes. However, please indicate that on your child's registration, then stop by the Registration area to make sure the child is assigned appropriately.
