Camp Firelight is based on Psalm 56:3 “Whenever I’m afraid, I put my trust in you.” This verse reminds us that God is with us through every situation, including times when we might be afraid. Campers join first-time counselor Sam and lightning bug puppet Lou (short for Lumen) as they learn to face their fears while trusting in God.
Summer 3-year-olds through current 4th graders (rising 6th – 12th graders are encouraged to register as volunteers!) If your family team sends a volunteer during the week, babies through 2-year-olds can join childcare in the nursery for the whole VBS week.
Volunteers
In order to keep our VBS inexpensive, we ask all VBS families to contribute volunteer hours before, during, or after VBS. We can provide “at home” materials to prep for us, you can help on a Saturday workday, guide groups through VBS, or help us clean up afterwards. We provide a nursery for 2-year-olds and younger if a parent volunteers during VBS week. Register to volunteer @ Firelight VBS here! Click on the website’s top bar “Volunteer Sign Up."
After-VBS Camp with Austin Youth Fitness
We have an After-VBS Camp with Austin Youth Fitness called Bike the City. The camp runs from 12 – 4 pm. Campers will eat lunch and relax inside with a movie from 12-1, then bike (either on campus for young ones or around the city, depending on abilities age) from 1-4 pm. Plan to bring helmets, water bottles & bikes before VBS to be locked securely together. Registration information can be found here.
