Vacation Church School for summer 2025 will take place
Monday, July 7th to Friday July 11th from 8:30am to 1pm!

This year’s theme will be focused on symbols of the Orthodox church. Children attending will have the opportunity to learn about the meaning of various symbols that are used in the Orthodox church. Along with our learning, children will be making crafts, singing hymns, participating in a service project, and enjoying indoor and outdoor games and fellowship activities. We will provide T-shirts for campers and volunteers. Ages for participation are those entering Kindergarten to having finished sixth grade in 2025. Please register using the link below by June 30th to reserve your spot! St. Nicholas VCS is FREE OF CHARGE! All are welcome!
​

We love having volunteers help! Parishioners and children from our GOYA youth group are encouraged to get involved and help with VCS. Please use the registration link below if you are interested in volunteering.

WHAT TO EXPECT:

VCS will take place both indoors and outdoors. Your camper will need to bring a packed lunch. Please also bring a clearly labeled water bottle. The church will also have light snacks and water available, if needed. Small breakfast items will also be available from 8:30am-9:00am. Both campers and volunteers must be registered ahead of time to appropriately plan! 
 
Campers will learn about various symbols of our Orthodox church. The week will include participating in church services, attending educational sessions provided by our parish priest, playing indoor and outdoor games, making crafts, participating in a service project, and experiencing fun and fellowship with each other!
