A VBS Designed for Children with Special Needs
Exceptional VBS is created specifically for children with special needs who are entering Kindergarten through 5th grade (with consideration given to developmental/mental age to ensure the best classroom fit).
Throughout the week, children will explore what it means to be created in God’s image and how every part of who they are reflects His intentional design. Together, we will discover that we are known, loved, and wonderfully made—and that our lives can magnify God simply by being who He created us to be.

The Buddy Program
We are also welcoming neurotypical children entering Kindergarten–5th grade to participate as part of our Buddy Program.

Safety and support
Exceptional VBS has been developed with the guidance of experienced teachers and therapists who regularly serve children with special needs.
Our first priority is creating a safe, supportive, and comforting environment for every participant.
All volunteers are required to complete specialized training led by these professionals to ensure they are equipped to serve each child with care and confidence.
A registered nurse will also be present on campus for the full duration of VBS.
