Along with Summer Camps, Vacation Bible Schools are a staple here in the south.
Many attend just their own churches VBS or they attend multiple.
I prefer multiple. It gives my kids a chance to hear from many different people about their faith. Some serve food which gives my kids an opportunity to eat something different. Each VBS has a different theme, different decorations and different things for them to do.
Here is the best list of the VBS in the area:
