The Land of Excalichantia VBS 2008
Welcome to The Land of Excalichantia, a weeklong summer camp adventure for kids entering Kindergarten through 5th grade in the fall. Kids will embark on an incredible journey where they’ll experience live music from Jana Alayra, drama, crafts, games, water day and of course amazing Bible stories! A fun opportunity for kids to invite friends and make new ones.

What is VBS?
Vacation Bible School is a five day event held every summer at Mariners Church. Our goal is simple: to help kids understand God just a little bit better. This year’s theme, “The Land of Excalichantia†is based on the Bible verse “Seek His will in all you do and He will show you which path to takeâ€. (Proverbs 3:6). Kids will learn that God has a purpose for each of us and that we can trust Him with our lives.
VBS is filled with live music, stories kids will relate to, wild games, snacks, crafts and a little water thrown in just to keep things interesting! Kids get to hang with their friends and make a whole bunch of new ones along the way. Most of all, they get to have a blast learning about a great God.
