My favorite Vacation Bible School that we did was a three-day, field trip based VBS we called Excellent Adventures! We used the theme hymn “This is My Father’s World”. We loaded schools buses and went to a cave, a state park and a zoo. We added activities such as making ice cream, butter, and a scrapbook/journal. We had a blast learning about the world around us as well as making use of local or semi-local resources! – Stephanie Pasch
Many of you have probably been to a Lutheran camp. Perhaps you went for a retreat, or you were there dropping your child off for a week of summer camp. Or maybe you even went as a camper yourself or served as a camp counselor for a summer. Even if you have been to camp, what you might not know is that many of our Lutheran camps use a similar theme each summer. So a child who goes to camp on the west coast can experience the same Bible study theme as their cousin or friend in the Mid West or on the East Coast. Each year, Lutheran Outdoor Ministries, (LOM) produces a curriculum to be used not only by Lutheran camps, but also by camps that are affiliated with other denominations, other ministry organizations, and congregations.
