FAQ - General

What is VBS?

VBS stands for Vacation Bible School. This year at Rainforest Falls, we will guide kids in exploring the nature of God! At Rainforest Falls faith will take root and love for God will flourish! Children are surrounded by God’s Word and the reality of God’s love gains new meaning and relevance to their everyday lives. Plus they’ll have an amazing time trying out new games, crafts, songs and digging deep into Scripture.

What should my child wear? 

Please have your child wear closed toed shoes and this year’s VBS shirt.

Can I hang out on campus while my child is at VBS?

No. For the safety of our kids, we have a closed campus during the event. 

Will there be snacks and drinks available for my child during VBS?

Yes! We will provide a snack for your child each day, so there's no need to pack a snack. If your child has food allergies, please make a note of it on the registration form and fill out the supplemental allergy information form. We do not serve any snacks that contain nuts. 

Where can I find photos and videos from VBS?
All week long we will be posting photos and videos on our Instagram. Make sure you follow us prior to the event so that you can see all of the exciting things at VBS!
