Description Cokesbury’s Rolling River Rampage invites children on a white water rafting adventure to experience the ride of a lifetime with God! Along the river, children discover that life with God is an adventure full of wonder and surprise, and that they can trust God to be with them through everything.

24/7 is based on stories Jesus told of how God provides every hour of every day so that we might have life and live it to the fullest! Discover that abundant life is based on a strong faith foundation, community, justice, prayer, and the forgiveness and love of Jesus.

Take kids on awesome adventures alongside some of their favorite Bible heroes and discover the qualities that make us truly heroic in God! VBS Hero Central uses music, science, crafts, recreation, and Bible stories to help kids (and leaders) discover their strength in God!

Welcome to Peace Lab, where children discover God’s way of peace! From learning how to resolve

help others, this interactive VBS curriculum helps children learn how to be peacemakers through age-appropriate dramas, games, crafts, snacks, and other fun activities.
