Free Catholic VBS! It’s baack–Summer Faith Adventure!

Due to popular demand:

We’re excited to RELAUNCH our Summer Faith Adventure!

With our “Adventure” format, your kids can still have a Catholic VBS experience this summer…from home…for FREE!

Choose the week you want from the 3 options. There will be two options during June and one in July.

Then during the week you select, you’ll receive 5 days of emails (Monday-Friday) with a schedule of activities including videos, games, crafts, coloring pages, word-searches, mazes, and a daily yummy snack! (Yes: the kids said the highlight of every VBS = SNACKS!)

And–like in all Holy Heroes free “Adventures“: it’s our-kids-teaching-your-kids about the joy of the Faith!

The theme for Summer Faith Adventure is The New Kingdom of David: children learn about the old Kingdom of David in the Old Testament and how Jesus came to re-establish it as His New Kingdom while on earth!

Remember what the Archangel Gabriel said to the Blessed Virgin Mary about her son?

“The Lord God will give to Him the throne of His father David,
and He will reign over the house of Jacob for ever;
and of His Kingdom there will be no end.”

In this thoroughly “Catholic from the ground-up VBS” children learn that from the Bible and Church teaching, we can understand the different roles in the New Kingdom of David and to whom Jesus assigned these roles before He rose into Heaven! Children also learn about the institutions of each of the sacraments, and why they are so important! Finally, with the daily prayers, we will spend a week growing closer to God!

Looking for a shopping list of what supplies you will need during the week of at-home camp? Most of the needs for crafts and snacks will be things around your house, but we have also created this list to help you prepare!

Also, don’t forget your Summer Faith Adventure Activity Books!

Yes, yes–you can print off everything absolutely free from the daily webpages…HOWEVER–our experience from running this in years past was that some moms, dads, catechists, and kids (!) wanted to save time every morning and create an activity book BEFORE beginning their week of camp!

SO: you can now get everything you need already printed and bound for you in our Summer Faith Adventure Activity Book .

The books not only contain more than 50 pages jam-packed with “The Sacraments then-and-now” coloring pages, crosswords, word searches, mazes, code-cracking, crafts, etc.

You can get the complete download and print out a copy for each child BEFORE Monday morning!

“This was our first year using Holy Heroes for our VBS program and we absolutely loved it (parents and kids alike).  This activity book made it really convenient for the kids to use while watching the videos and the color photos for the day three activity were beautiful!  What a wonderful ministry you have.”
