Do you sign your kids up for Vacation Bible School during the summer? If so how much is it? Do you sign them up for churches you don't belong to?

We dont have a church so I take them to mil's church back home. I have not had any luck finding us a church as I am looking for one that just does the once a week services and that's it.
Anyways, for the kids to go to VBS there is no cost involved. Kids all had a blast last summer and I already know the dates for this years VBS.
Forgot to memtion ours is a week long VBS, in the morning. Totally worth the drive.

Our VBS is free. I will not be signing up dd (5) because it starts too late in the evening. It is 7-9pm.

It's free here as well...

It's not a Catholic thing though (at least around here), so I personally have never been interested in signing my kids up for it.

Ours is free as well. We only do the church we belong to and only DD gets to go. DS won't get to go for 2 more years because they only do 4 and up at our church. As long as they continue to do it during the day we will participate.

I am considering it this year. Through the Catholic churches there is a small fee. The Wesleyan church is supposed to have a terrific VBS, w/a fee attached as well, but it's a large church and I'm told they get over 500 kids. I'm a little nervous about my young children getting lost in a shuffle like that. Will look i

Ours is free too. Just about every church around here does them, I don't think I have ever heard of any of them charging.
I have helped out a few times, and last year I actually had to teach a class or 3 and 4 year olds. I made my older kids come with me to help out.

My DS goes to VBS at the church we attend. There is no fee attached to it. It is also in the evening which is great for us so he can attend. I work full time so wouldn't be able to take him during the day. He has always loved being able to go to VBS.
