2026 Vacation Bible Camp

Discovery on Adventure Island VBC

A Lighthouse Adventure Where God’s Light Shines Bright!

 

This summer, children are invited to set sail on an unforgettable adventure at Discovery on Adventure Island Vacation Bible Camp (VBC)! Over four exciting mornings, Explorers will journey through a tropical island filled with glowing lanterns, hidden clues, fun activities, and meaningful Bible lessons—all while discovering how God’s light shines in the world and in their own lives.

 

Based on Cokesbury’s Adventure Island Vacation Bible Camp curriculum, this program combines storytelling, music, crafts, games, and hands-on exploration into a fun and faith-filled experience for children of all ages.

Through stories from both the Old and New Testaments, children will discover:

  • How God’s light shines in the lives of Bible characters
