K4J Vacation Bible School
Looking for a Vacation Bible School that is truly Catholic, virtue-based, fun for kids, user-friendly for volunteers and flexible? K4J’s Catholic VBS is the program you’ve been waiting for!
Catholic to the Core
No more cut-and-paste from Protestant Vacation Bible School programs—the K4J program is specifically designed to help children discover Christ and learn their Catholic faith in all its richness.
- The program teaches core aspects of our faith, such as the Eucharist, Mary, the Holy Father, and the sacraments. This year's VBS reinforces the Year For Priests!
- The lives of the saints serve as examples of faith.
- The contagiously fun theme songs are Catholic.
- The program fosters love and gratitude for the Catholic priesthood, with specific service activities to support diocesan priests.
Focused on Forming Virtue
It’s no secret that kids today need a strongly virtue-based educational program to teach them how to apply their faith in real life. The K4J program brings each lesson down to earth with a focus on forming virtue at home, at school, and among their friends.
- Daily lessons contain a virtue component showing kids how to live out their faith in practical ways.
- Saint stories give kids virtuous models to imitate.
- The Send-It-Home materials and resolutions give the kids an opportunity to practice specific virtues at home.
Exciting and Interactive
K4J Vacation Bible School has passed the kid test with flying colors! It is fun and interactive, engaging the children’s creativity and fostering teamwork and friendship.
- The activities were designed by Catholic educators with years of experience involving children in activity-based learning.
- The songs involve the kids by use of hand motions and sing-along tunes.
- The lives of the saints become real to the kids as they act out skits.
- Leaders have the option to add a 5th- 8th grade captains program to involve older school children as role models and leaders. This peer-to-peer leadership program is exciting and enriching for both age groups.
User-friendly and Flexible
We believe that a Vacation Bible School should be smooth sailing for parents and volunteers. That’s why our VBS program is user-friendly and flexible.
- The program comes with volunteer guidebooks that outline each day’s activities from A to Z.
- Promotional graphics are provided on the VBS Graphics CD to facilitate parish promotion.
- Sheet music for the music CD is available for the music program, and for future use.
- We offer bulk pricing for music CDs.
- The Holy Hero saint card for each day is sold separately, as is the toy to remind the kids of the fun they had at VBS each day.
