Churches get ready for Vacation Bible School, summer youth programs

It's time to sign up for Vacation Bible School! The annual tradition for many families combines Bible stories, crafts, games and other activities.

The programs typically are free or very cheap. And, though they happen at local churches, they usually are open to the public. For working parents, some churches even offer programs in the evening or weekends, as well.

Here's a list of programs in the Triangle. Most - probably all of them - require pre-registration. And some can fill up. Be sure to follow the links and contact the churches or fill out the online registration form before you go.

If there's a VBS that's not listed here, feel free to share the details in the comments.
