Summer vacations are a staple in many families’ yearly calendars. They may include something as exotic as a trip to Europe or the Caribbean for those who can afford it, or something a little more local like a New England tour or Grand Canyon hike. This year, you might want to consider a vacation option for the kids that is close to home. Every year, churches around the Santa Clarita Valley offer Vacation Bible Schools, which operate much like day camps. They give kids a chance to enjoy a week of activities in a safe and well-supervised environment, while also teaching them more about the Bible and the Christian faith.

Below is a detailed list of local VBS’s offered by SCV churches. Visit the church websites for additional information.
