Take kids deep into an amazing undersea adventure where they’ll experience the ever-flowing, never-ending love of God. At Totally Catholic Scuba VBS, kids will be immersed in the Sacred Scripture and discover what living water is really all about!
Each day at Totally Catholic Scuba VBS, kids launch into field-tested rotations that reinforce key teachings from Sacred Scripture and Sacred Tradition and immerse kids in new adventures.
Take Bible memory from the head to the heart…like never before!
It feels great to hear kids recite memory verses from the VBS week! But did kids really learn what that Scripture means? Do they understand the context? Have they considered how it applies to everyday life?
It’s one thing to reel-off lots of verses--that’s Bible-wide. With Sticky Scripture, you’ll help kids deepen their Bible literacy skills in surprising ways. They’ll dive into God’s Word with multiple senses, understanding the words, where they are in Scripture, and how the verse applies to them today. That’s Bible-deep, and it changes everything!
A fun, interactive daily video that explores the meaning of the verse
Motions and visuals that help them remember the verse
Scripture exploration that adds important context to the verse and teaches hands-on Bible navigation skills
We’ve replaced the Imagination Station per-kid gizmos with the budget-friendly Imagination Station Crew Teaching Kit! Includes seven different eye-popping experiments that crews experience themselves in a hands-on way.
At Totally Catholic Scuba Vacation Bible School, one memorable Bible Point and one key aspect of Sacred Tradition (called the “Catholic ID”) are reinforced throughout the stations each day—making these key points easy to remember and apply in real life.
