2020 VBS will be Virtual! The team at GO! Curriculum has designed a 3-day "backyard" VBS that is custom made for churches and families during the COVID19 shutdown. We have thought through every aspect of the VBS experience and made it so user friendly that any family can easily do it at home. With minimal preparation, easy to follow instructions, and a video that leads kids step-by-step through each day, BOLT VBS is the perfect quarantine-friendly solution for your church or family.

You may do this VBS at your pace and convenience. 3 days in a row, 1 day a week...however you would like. Each day is approximately 1 1/2 hours of
