The curriculum/theme for the 2024 Summer Teams is The Great Jungle Journey by Answers in Genesis.

The cost for hosting a 2024 summer team for a single church week is $2,100. For a double church week (2 churches hosting separate VBS the same week with the same VBS team) the cost is $3,200 ($1,600 per church.) The cost for a camp is $2,500.

All payments from churches are due to the FLBC office by July 15. We encourage churches to make payments earlier, if possible.

Most teams have two men and two women.

Yes. Churches are asked to provide host families for the team. Typically, men stay in one home and women stay in another home. We ask that the host families provide a positive, clean, and safe living environment for the team.

Yes, each team has their own transportation.

Yes. We ask that the church provide meals for the team throughout the week and during their travels. Some choose to provide meals in host homes, meals hosted at the church, or meals hosted by various congregation members. This usually is a highlight of the team's stay and an enjoyable experience for the host churches.

Typically, students are divided into four groups: Pre-school; Kindergarten and 1st grade; 2nd grade and 3rd grade; and 4th grade, 5th grade and 6th grade. Each team member will be responsible for teaching one age group. For churches with large VBS programs (40 or more kids), we recommend these groups be further divided and for the church to provide additional teachers.

Our teams will be fully trained to lead game time for the kids. However, if churches decide to provide their own game leader, the team members will be more than willing to participate and help the game leader.

Churches are responsible for providing craft supplies. It is recommended that the church also provide a craft leader. The team will be available for assisting the craft leader. In the absence of a craft leader, team members can lead the craft time, provided they have proper instructions and supplies.
