Thank you for sharing these awesome Twin Cities Vacation Bible School opportunities! I love seeing such a variety of programs for families. Can’t wait to enroll my kids and see what they learn this summer!
Definitely come back and share, Yvonne.
This is such a great resource for families looking for VBS options in the Twin Cities! I love how you’ve highlighted the variety of programs available. It’s exciting to see so many churches offering engaging activities for kids. Can’t wait to sign my kids up for one of these! Thank you for sharing!
We’re glad you found it useful. Let us know which program(s) you pick and how your kids liked them. Personal recommendations are super helpful.
This post is so helpful! I love the variety of Vacation Bible School options available in the Twin Cities for 2024. I’m excited to get my kids involved in something fun and meaningful this summer. Thank you for sharing these opportunities!
Thank you, Eleven. Because these are mainly volunteer run programs, we usually have enough information to update VBS programs in late April or May and programs continue to trickle in through the summer. So check back regularly.
I’m so glad you shared this information! My family is looking for a fun and engaging VBS program for our kids this summer and I’ve been struggling to find one that fits our schedule. Can you please provide more details about the programs you mentioned? Specifically, what are the dates and times for each program? Thanks in advance!
I’m glad you are finding it helpful. Dates and times are listed on each VBS program’s entry and we have the entries listed in chronological order – earliest camps first.
Great post! I’m thrilled to hear about all the Vacation Bible School programs available in the Twin Cities this summer. I’m particularly interested in the program at St. Mary’s Church, as I have a friend who has been going there for years and raves about how much their kids learn and have fun. I’ll definitely be checking it out with my own kids. Thanks for sharing!
Exciting! Let us know how they like their VBS program. This page is built on testimonials from parents. Also, we are not currently aware of a St. Mary’s that is offering VBS, so please share more information with our Catholic readers. We would love to have more options.
Will you have this list for 2023? Thanks!
Thanks for checking in Bobbi. We will have a 2023 list, but most VBS programs are run by volunteers and do not get announced until close to the event. Check back in late May or early June for an up-to-date list. In the meantime, follow the links for the 2022 events because the same churches will likely have similar programs at around the same time each year.
I clicked on the 2022 links and found the 2023 programs on the websites of some of the churches. They may not have ‘put it out there yet’ but for quite a few I was able to navigate to their 2023 offerings by clicking the 2022 links.
Thank you for letting us know. I’ll add updating VBS to my to do list!
This is great! Would you be willing to include western Wisconsin locations?
Hi Candi. Feel free to share your Western Wisconsin VBS programs in the comments. If they are not too far from the Twin Cities, we’ll add them to the main list.
Hi, thanks for including our church’s vbs!
