GENERAL REGISTRATION:
The VBS Registration fee for the first two children per family is $45 each. Registration for additional children per family is $40 each. Payment is required at time of registration. The fees are collected to offset the costs of operating the VBS program and include a t-shirt for each participant, all craft and activity supplies, and a snack each day.
