Vacation Bible School (VBS) Directory: Northeast and East Columbus

Publish date: 2024-05-02
Vacation bible schools (VBS) offer kids a fun week-long Christian learning experience. Most are very low cost, and many times free, making it an affordable summer experience for all kids. All VBS programs welcome the general public. Our kids love VBS, and I have been very impressed by the amazing and engaging programs offered! Listed by city, but not by date.
