Stretch your PTO with VBS

Many of the moms are breathing a sigh of relief that school is out and the kids can connect with relatives for a while to allow mom and kiddos to recharge. Some of them are not so lucky. Some moms take their vacation time, if  it has not been depleted with time off for sick kids, and if a senior employee, or a manager will authorize it. The lack of finances are always an issue no matter how creative you get.


I heard a lot about VBS - every church is advertising it on a banner in their parking lot. I used to think, nothing is free, they try to convert my kids, oblige me to join their church, want me to volunteer, when it's me that needs a break.....


Actually, you don't have to be a member of the Church to enroll your kids. They provide a  week long camp like environment with lots of fun and games provided by people who love kids. Ages typically range from 4 yrs to 5th grade. There are no intrusive questionnaires. VBS is free. If they do charge a nominal material fee, it can be worked out.

We allow you to give yourself a break (LOL) You, and the kids, will be glad you checked it out.

P.S. You may also check with the YMCA and discuss your financial situation. They will work with you as well.
