HELLO!

Puyallup UMC is excited to host VBX Kids again this summer! VBX is an inclusive summer day camp program for kids ages 4-12. It runs from 9 am to noon, Monday through Friday, July 20-24, 2026!

Registration is OPENING SOON and FREE for all families!

Our theme for the year is Compassion Camp: What Every Living Thing Needs!

Through Bible stories, science exploration, creative games, crafts, and activities, kids will learn what every living thing needs to thrive—and how we can show compassion to all of God’s amazing creation!

IMPORTANT DETAILS

VBX is free! Click the registration button below to begin the sign-up process for your child/children.

Every child’s safety is our number one priority. All of our volunteers have passed a background check and undergone specialized training that follows our Safe Sanctuary policies.

Parents and siblings are welcome to join us for a special post-VBX Family Party at the end of the week on Saturday, July 25, from 11:00 am to 1:30 pm—registration not required. There will be a giant water slide, hot dogs, burgers, games, and more!

ABOUT OUR PROGRAM

Compassion Camp: What Every Living Thing Needs is an earth-care curriculum focused on the more-than-human world. While humans are a part of God's creation, we aim to explore the needs of every living thing for shelter, food, water, air, and community through awareness, gratitude, wonderment, reciprocity, and kinship, and specifically, practice ways humans can have compassion for the more-than-human world regarding those needs.

Our time will include:

Movement

Music

Bible Story

Creation & Play

Compassion in Action
