VBS AFTERPARTY WATERSLIDE WAIVER

This year's VBS Mission Project

We are excited to partner with Joni & Friends for their "Wheels for the World" program. An estimated 80 million people in the world need a wheelchair & about 5-35% have access (3% in low income countries). This year you can help out in a few different ways...

Donate a used wheelchair or walker
Donate money to go towards restoring a used wheelchair. It costs about $250 to restore a child's wheelchair. You may bring cash, check made out to NPFCC with "VBS Mission Project" in memo line, or online selecting the fund called "VBS Mission Project"

Thank you for your AWESOME support for this year's mission project!! We loved all your lemonade stand pics & hearts for this special ministry!!

F.A.Q.

WHO CAN ATTEND VBS CAMP?

VBS is for ages 3.5 years through 5th grade. 3.5 year olds must be fully potty trained & able to use the restroom without assistance. Registration is based on grade going into THIS FALL as we promote our kids in June, prior to VBS. Preschoolers are grouped by current age.

What about kids that just finished 5th grade?

We promote our kids in June, so they are considered 6th graders at that point. This means they will be part of our Impact Student Ministry & their awesome summer events like Summer Camp, Park Days, Beach Days, Swim Days, & Impact Wednesday nights! See our Impact Student Page for summer dates.

CAN PARENTS/GRANDPARENTS VOLUNTEER?

Absolutely, yes!! Persons 18 years or older will fill out a volunteer application form which includes a background check and follow up interview.

STEP ONE: Please fill out our volunteer interest form letting Crystal know you'd like to help out.

STEP TWO: Please complete our volunteer application, including signature on the back to authorize the background check & bring it to the church main office during the week, to Crystal in Kids Church on Sundays or simply scan & email it to her.

CAN 6TH-12TH GRADERS VOLUNTEER?

Yes! Crystal holds youth volunteer interviews in early May. Please note, youth volunteer spots are limited so please plan to sign up early. Sign up HERE. Youth Volunteer Interview week has passed & we have over 40 amazing youth in place...thank you to all who came out to interview. We are super excited to have you at VBS!

WHAT ARE YOUR DROP-OFF & PICK-UP PROCEDURES?

Both drop-off and pick-up will take place at our Auditorium ("Big Church" building). When you arrive each morning, 1st stop is at our check-in iPads just outside the Auditorium. Then, head into the Auditorium for 2nd stop check-in with our class leaders. Pick-up will be just outside the Auditorium as soon as closing assembly is finished. Parents are welcome to stay in the VIP (Very Important Parents) area to watch the opening assembly after morning drop-off. However, parents will remain outside at pick-up for the safe dismissal of our children.

WHAT IF MY CHILD HAS ALLERGIES OR SPECIAL NEEDS?

The registration form has a spot to share your child's allergies. If you have additional information or special needs you would like to share about your child, you may indicate them on your registration form or email Crystal directly.
