Collaborative VBS: Compassion Camp

This is a Vacation Bible School using Illustrated Ministry’s Compassion Camp: Be Loved, Be Kind, Be You. Video, music, and prayer components were created, developed and produced by ten congregations around the Diocese of East Carolina for any parish in the diocese to use when hosting a Vacation Bible School.

Compassion Camp can be used in a variety of ways from a traditional in person VBS to a completely in home online or somewhere in between. It can be used in a 5 day, 1 week format or spread out over the course of 5 weeks during a designated program time. Resources have been developed to assist parishes who might not to be able to pull together volunteers, materials or other supplies to make a full VBS happen.

Any parish in the Diocese of East Carolina can access the curriculum and materials by contacting Emily Gowdy Canady, Missioner for Lifelong Christian Formation.

Thank you to the ten contributing parishes.
