FCC is a welcoming, inclusive, open-minded Christian community that has discovered the freedom and joy a spiritual life offers. Our ministry is committed to sharing God’s love through service to others, thought-provoking worship, and fostering faith among generations. We aspire to nourish the individual on their spiritual journey; explore the intersection of community and faith; and remain faithful to God’s vision in a changing world.

  • Camp is “rotation” style - children will remain with their group and travel to different locations throughout the day, led by their counselors. In each rotation, a dedicated, trained teacher will lead activities (including music, games, science, drama, and cooking classes).

  • Children will be grouped with other campers around their age, typically by the grade they will be entering in September. If there is a special friend they’d like to be in a group with, please be sure to indicate the friend’s name on the registration form - and ask them to sign up for camp! Siblings with more than a year age gap will be in separate groups.

  • Each camper will be assigned a team color on Monday morning of camp. Team colors will remain the same throughout the week, and campers will wear color-coded wristbands and name tags.

  • Snack & Lunch: We provide a healthy snack during the morning hours of VBC. Please send a lunch in an insulated bag with your name on the outside. VBC is NUT-FREE - please be sure to keep lunches nut-free.

  • Cost: $85 per camper. Registration fees are for the whole week or any part of it. Please note: all registration payments are final, and refunds are not offered. The registration fee includes all credit card processing fees.

  • All campers must be potty-trained. VBC Staff & Volunteers do not have the facilities or training to change diapers or pull-ups. If your child exhibits ongoing issues with potty-training, a parent may be asked to remain onsite.

  • Prior to camp, Counselors will receive a Team color assignment. If your student would like to be on a Team with a particular friend, please be sure to let us know in advance!

  • Counselors will be responsible for the campers in their team. They will shepherd campers between rotations, provide an enthusiastic presence, lead team-building activities, and help VBC Teachers in the classroom.

  • Counselors are asked to arrive at 8:30am each day for prep and setup, and leave at 2:30pm to assist with dismissal and cleanup.

  • A mandatory Counselor training session will be held for all Counselors, and each Counselor will be asked to sign a Counselor Covenant outlining expectations for their behavior and leadership.

  • We understand that things come up! If your student isn’t able to volunteer for the whole week, please let us know on the registration form.

  • Snack & Lunch: We provide a healthy snack during the morning hours of VBC. Please send a lunch in an insulated bag with your name on the outside. VBC is NUT-FREE - please be sure to keep lunches nut-free.

  • There is no cost to be a Counselor! In fact, students can receive up to 30 hours of community service credit. If you would like a letter to this effect, please contact us after camp.
