Can I register my child at any time?
Online registration is available from March 2 through June 29, as space allows.

Can my child be placed in the same group as his/her friend?
Prior to June 9, we will do our best to honor special requests if BOTH parties make the request at the time of registration and BOTH children are in the same grade. Teammates must request one another for consideration. Requests are not guaranteed.

How will I know what team my child is on?
Children are assigned to groups according to the grade most recently completed. Their individual team assignments will be available upon check-in on the first day of VBS.

Where do I pick up my child’s t-shirt?

Beginning Sunday, June 22, parents of registered children can pick up their children’s T-shirts at the Children’s Ministry Entrance.

• Pick up before or after Sunday or Wednesday services, or during regular business hours (M-F, 9:00–5:00).

• We cannot exchange sizes.

Is my friend/neighbor permitted to pick up my child?

Anyone picking up a child must be listed on the child’s registration form.

• If you need to make changes after the form has been submitted, please email vbs@cornerstonechapel.net.

Can I pick up my child early?

Children are involved in many activities and often rotate throughout the building. For this and other security reasons, early pick-ups are discouraged. Please do your best to schedule dental, doctor, and other appointments outside the VBS schedule.

Does my child need to bring a snack?

We provide a daily snack. Please do not bring a snack except for allergy reasons.

Is the environment allergy safe?

We try to avoid common allergens when selecting snacks, but we cannot guarantee the selection will be free of all possible allergens.

• If your child has a food allergy or other dietary medical condition, we must be made aware at the time of registration.
• You may supply one snack item for your child per day.
• This snack item will be carried by your child’s coach in his/her daily bag. Please give the item to the coach upon arrival.
• Please make sure your child understands that they are not to eat anything other than what you have supplied.

Am I able to observe while VBS is in session?
For the safety of all children and volunteers, no one is permitted to remain in the building except approved and background-checked volunteers, our Safety Team, and church staff.

Is there a dress code?
We ask that children and volunteers wear sneakers, the VBS T-shirt, and modest-length shorts.

What is the 2024 VBS Mission Project?
We will be collecting items to support local food banks in the area.
