Awesome Lessons

Our Bible Boot Camp VBS Bible lessons are based on Luke 10:25-37, the story of the Good Samaritan. We include lessons for both younger and older children. Each lesson includes an ice-breaker activity, the Bible lesson, reinforcing activities with their Bible Boot Camp Journal, and a prayer. See a complete list of the Bible Boot Camp Bible Lessons.

Creative Nature Crafts:

Children love to create, and we have some fun Bible crafts for them to take home as a lasting reminder of their experience at Bible Boot Came VBS. Each child makes their own Bible Boot Camp Journal to learn more about themselves and their relationship with God. From Boot Print Binoculars, to really cool pencil holders made from sticks, to the Roaring Roll Call Horn and a Boot Boot Camp boot print shirt, children will love to dive in to nature crafts. See a complete list of the Bible Boot Camp Crafts.

Fun Games

We give you the option of some traditional games such as Bible Boot Relay and God-sized Boots, or bringing all your groups together for the Great Adventure Hike. The Great Adventure Hike uses from 1-3 decorated rooms. If you choose to do this activity, we recommend bringing all your groups together at one time. Start each group in a different room, then rotate. If you have more than three groups, you can set up another station with the traditional games. See a complete list of the Bible Boot Camp Games.

Camp Guides and troops of campers:

Wear boots, hiking shorts and Bible Boot Camp T-shirts. Can also buy bandanas or make colored kerchiefs to tie around your neck.

Camp Snacks

It won't be long before you have a whole camp of hungry campers. Serving snack is both fun and easy with a healthy trail mix, some cute campers in a blanket, ants on a log and a sweet treat of microwave s'mores. Added snacks could include: Fresh fruit such as grapes, bananas and apples, fruit juices and water. See a complete list of the Bible Boot Camp Snacks and Recipes.

Camp Songs

Our piggyback songs, based on familiar tunes, are easy to learn and teach. Songs like our Bible Boot Camp Theme song and The Good Samaritan Chant are a great way to reinforce the day’s message. You can also go with traditional favorites such as "I’m In The Lord’s Army" and "Onward Christian Soldiers" which can be found on many sites on the web. See a complete list of the Bible Boot Camp Songs.

Decorations

Turn your classrooms into a series of three wilderness camping sites including the Raging River, Sleepy Mountain and Hidden Cave Camps. Or better yet, move your VBS outside for a real camping experience. Get great and easy ideas for decorating with little or no budget. We also include signs for each location. See a complete list of the Bible Boot Camp Decorations.

Promotions

We provide easy to use logos so you can create your own banners, flyers and bulletin inserts. We have also included a promo and name tags. See a complete list of the Bible Boot Camp Logos, Promos and Name Tags.
