Our top priority will ALWAYS be safety. Attendees will always have at least 1 First Aid & CPR certified adult for every 10 children, as well as additional adult supervision. Only those who are pre-approved (including parents/guardians listed on children's' paperwork) will be allowed past the Registration table.
You are always welcome to join VBS with your child, however, you will have to first check in with Registration and inform them of your intentions. You will also need to check out, just so we can keep track of everyone that is coming and going.
Each day, kiddos will partake in a variety of activities in the form of stations. Each station is lead by at least 1 adult and several assistants. These stations aim to give kids an unforgettable experience while they learn about God's faithfulness and love for all of us.
Unlike most VBS programs, we have the unique opportunity to include our very own engineering station, where all attendees have the opportunity to partake in safe STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, & Mathematics) experiments.
These are this year's very special activity stations:
- Gihon Springs - STEM: Here, kiddos lean about using God's amazing creations to build and create the world ourselves.
- Raven's Roost - Games: In the Game station, we have lots of fun, active games to help everyone get the wiggles out.
- Prophet's Peak - Bible Story: At the bible Story station, kids not only learn the daily stories right from the Bible, but they also act it out with their very own props!
- Manna Munchies - Snacks:* A new snack everyday, themed to fit our message about God's faithfulness and love.
- Mt Carmel - Arts & Crafts: A great place for kiddos to let their creative minds shine!
- Altar Alcove - Prayer: Lead by our very own pastor, kids have the opportunity to learn and experience prayer from a real-life prayer warrior.
*Manna Munchies - Snack Station:
There WILL be alternative snacks available. Please be sure you fill in the dietary restrictions & preferences section on the registration form.
Snack Menu:
- Monday: Create-your-own Trail Mix with Special Oreo Delivery Ravens
- Tuesday: Fruit-filled Waffle Cone Mountains
- Wednesday: Rice Krispie Mountains & Veggie Cups
- Thursday: Fruit Kabobs & Birch Tree Pretzels
- Friday: Jell-O Jordan Cups
Each day, kids and guardians will need to stop by the Registration Table beginning and end of each day.
We want to be sure every child enters with their registration papers and that every child leaves with an approved adult.
Registration is also where you can find any daily updates, news, and information. If you ever have questions, these are the people who can best help.
This is also the best place to create updates to paperwork if need be.
We look forward to seeing you there!
Skip the line!
You also have the opportunity to skip the paperwork the day-of. We are already accepting registration papers through email.

Don't have time to volunteer? No problem! There's plenty of other ways to help us out!
Marketing Assistance: We have plenty of flyers to give to neighbors, strangers, and friends. The more word gets out, the more kiddos and families we reach!
Donations: We have 2 options for donations.
Photos will become available throughout the week, as well as daily slide shows that the kiddos will get to see.
We also invite you to our Sabbath Church Service where we will share with the rest of the church all the amazing adventures we had. This service will take place at the Ridgecrest SDA Church on Saturday, August 2.
The main service begins at 10:40am, however, the children's sabbath school classes begin at 9:30am. Following the church service, lunch is provided by the church members and all are welcome to join!
*If you do not wish to allow photos of your child, let us know on the paperwork and at Registration. If you would like photos for yourself, but not to be shared with the public, please inform us so our photographer can keep this request in mind. Thank you!
