2026 Vacation Bible Schools and Church Camps

VBS in Louisville KY and Oldham County KY

May 30, 2026

Vacation Bible School (VBS) and Church Camps are back at many locations this year! Register now before they fill up! If I missed any, please email me at Tammyg@macaronikid.com and I will add them to the list. 


Highview Baptist Church

Every day, our kids are bombarded with questions: Did God really create everything? Why do bad things happen? Was Noah’s ark real? Why do I need to be saved? Can I trust the Bible? At The Great Jungle Journey, your kids will explore the biblical answers to these questions as they set off on an epic adventure from Genesis to Revelation!

Vacation Bible School is open to kids entering Kindergarten–6th grade in the fall. Registration is free – be sure to invite friends and neighbors to join us for an epic week! Everyone who pre-registers will receive a free t-shirt. T-shirts are available for week-of registrations while supplies last.
