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.

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.
