Adventurers always follow one important rule when exploring the great outdoors: Never journey alone. Just like a pair of hikers setting out on a trail, we’ll explore the beauty of God’s creation together, discovering the depths of His love and the strength of our faith along the way.
True North VBS is packed with Bible adventures, outdoor games, music, snacks, high-fives, and nature-filled “wows”! More than just fun, every activity has a powerful purpose—helping kids deepen their friendship with God. Each day, kids will journey through exciting outdoor rotations, each one reinforcing a key Bible Point that helps them navigate their faith in new and meaningful ways. With one unforgettable Bible lesson at the heart of everything, we’ll help kids remember the truth long after summer ends.
Please refer to our frequently asked questions below to best prepare.
