Summer is almost here, and that means Vacation Bible School is just around the corner.

If you're looking for a fun, faith-filled week for your kids, there are plenty of options across the Highlands Ranch, Littleton, and South Denver. Here's a look at what's coming up:

  • 7 VBS programs running from early June through late July across local churches in Highlands Ranch, Littleton, Lone Tree, and Centennial

  • Themes range from ancient Rome and rainforest adventures to superhero training and illuminating faith — with something for nearly every age group from toddlers through 6th grade

  • Costs and formats vary with some programs free to attend and others ranging from free to $75, plus volunteer discounts at select locations

Please note: VBS programs can vary widely in teaching style, structure, and religious approach. Parents are encouraged to review each program individually to ensure it aligns with their family's beliefs, values, and preferences.
