9:00am: Sing & Play Blast-Off!

All our camp crews come together around center stage and we prepare for the day’s adventure by singing fun songs, meeting fun Bible Memory Buddies, and introducing the daily memorable Bible Point and one key aspect of Sacred Tradition (called the “Catholic ID”). These key points are reinforced throughout the stations each day, making them easy to apply long after VBS is over.
