Stories from the Bible will leap off the pages as kids explore where Jesus walked and examine artifacts that bring the world of the Bible to life. As junior archaeologists, kids will study tangible pieces of the past to learn the truth about who Jesus is and why He came. Each day, kids will make crafts, play fun games, enjoy tasty snacks, sing cool songs, and learn about missions.

In a world filled with messages, telling us what is right, what is wrong, and even questioning whether there is a right or wrong, where do you turn for answers? And more importantly, where can you find the right answers? Jesus said, “I am the way and the truth and the life” (John 14:6) and then he proved it by being the only person in history to raise himself from the dead. The answers to all of life’s difficult questions can be found in God’s love letter to humanity, the Bible. Let’s take a journey of discovery together and explore God’s roadmap to navigate this complex and confusing adventure called life.
