Serve at VBS Kids Summer Camp
Why should I serve at camp? VBS isn’t just an event—it’s a life-changing adventure! For five unforgettable days, kids break away from their daily routines and distractions to dive into an experience packed with fun, friendship, and powerful faith moments. Through engaging activities, meaningful connections, and high-energy experiences, kids make lasting memories and discover who Jesus is. VBS is jam-packed with intentional environments that lead to thinking beyond themselves as they support our global partner in Ukraine, “I Believe” moments as they confess their faith in Jesus, baptisms, and life-changing decisions—and you get to be a part of it! Come be an influential leader in a kid's life this summer.
What if I’ve never served with Kids ministry? VBS is the best opportunity to see if serving with Mariners Kids is a good fit for you! We have plenty of year-round serve opportunities on weekends.
Who can serve as a volunteer? Anyone who loves Jesus, attends a Mariners Church congregation, and is in at least 6th grade by Fall 2025, is invited to serve! Spots for 6th-8th grade volunteers are limited, so register early! Don’t miss this chance to be part of an unforgettable week!
