Every summer, Prince of Peace fills with the sounds of laughter, creativity, and kids discovering more about Jesus, and we wouldn’t have it any other way! Vacation Bible School has become a favorite part of summer for so many families in our community, and we love seeing familiar faces return year after year.

Our theme this year is “Water, Waves, and Wonder.” Through hands-on art projects, creative activities, and engaging Bible stories, kids will explore the many ways water appears throughout Scripture while discovering the wonder of God’s creation.

Along the way, campers will create, experiment, learn, and play as they dive into stories of faith through art, creativity, and a little bit of science. It’s a fun, imaginative environment where kids can build friendships, discover their creative gifts, and grow in their understanding of God’s love.

Art Camp: Water, Waves, and Wonder will take place July 21–23, 2026, and is open to children who have completed grades 1–5.

Registration is completely digital. Read through the instructions below to make the process quick and easy. 

Who Can Attend
Children who have completed 1st–5th grade by this summer are invited to participate.
When registering, please indicate your child’s current grade, not the grade they will enter in the fall.

Camp Capacity & Waitlist
Space for Art Camp is limited. Once the camp reaches capacity, registration will close and a waitlist will open. If a spot becomes available, Liz Rossow will contact families in the order they joined the waitlist.

Family Discount
Families with four or more children attending VBS only pay for the first three registrations.
The discount will be automatically applied at checkout.

Registration Process
All registrations must be completed online. We are not offering paper registration forms this year.
Please note that registrations are not processed until payment is received.

If you need technical help with the registration process, please contact Liz Rossow in the church office.

Scholarships Available
A limited number of scholarships are available to cover all or part of the VBS cost.
If you would like to request a scholarship, please contact Liz Rossow in the church office before starting the registration process. You do not need to share financial information—simply reach out and ask.

Post-VBS Family Picnic

All VBS families are invited to join us for a special picnic dinner on Saturday, July 25, following our 5:00pm outdoor worship service. It’s a fun chance to reconnect with the friends your kids made during the week and celebrate a great VBS together.

The picnic is free to attend, but to help us prepare enough food, please let us know how many people from your household will be coming when you complete your VBS registration, not just your VBS participants. 

You’re also invited to join us for the 5:00pm outdoor worship service before the picnic!

Registration closes at midnight on June 7th 2026, or when we reach our capacity for the camp. 

Don't forget to sign up to serve in VBS!
It takes many volunteers to make VBS week a success, and we need your support. There are opportunities to serve one day or several days; for adults and students! If your child has aged out of VBS, they may come back and serve! You can find the volunteer page directly on our website, or click the link in your registration confirmation email. 

I look forward to seeing you at VBS this summer; we're going to have a great week! Please don't hesitate to call or email me with questions.
