Point kids to Jesus, a faithful friend we can always trust.

Guide kids on the ultimate Alaskan adventure where northern lights glow over majestic mountains, racing rivers, and glistening glaciers. As kids trek the tundra, they’ll explore how easy it is to lose sight of what’s true in our wild world today. Pointing them toward Jesus, Totally Catholic True North VBS shows them that He is a faithful friend we can always trust.

Youth Volunteers

  • Want to bring some joy to others this summer
  • Have some experience working with children…

…then you belong on our team!

 

Interested in a volunteer opportunity this summer? Saint Gregory the Great Vacation Bible School day camp is a terrific time to help and interact with the younger children of our parish. Our VBS is loaded with fun-filled activities that bring kids closer to God. Through the different activities – singing, crafts, games, snacks, and bible story theatre – the children learn what the Bible point of the day is and how they can live it out in their lives.

The VBS camp will run Monday through Friday. Volunteers need to be here from 8:30 am – 1:00 pm. On Friday, the camp will conclude with a Mass that starts at 11:30 am.

We cannot put this camp on without volunteers – a lot of volunteers. Work begins months before with planning, designing, and assembling set decorations, making signs, registering campers, training, etc. Would you like to play a role in this year’s camp? You are awarded service hours for the time that you volunteer at the VBS camp.

Review the volunteer opportunities and let us know what you would be interested in. Check your dates to make sure you can commit. Please contact us for further information.
