Baobab Blast is an open invitation to be a part of God’s Great Get-Together. Set under the impressive Baobab tree, kids will have the opportunity to: hear the Word of God, be amazed at God’s wildlife creations and be a part of a supportive and fun community right here at Saint Margaret Mary Education Center. All children currently in pre-4 (must be potty-trained) through grade 5 are welcome!

Set in the wild of the Sahara desert, this VBS has something for everyone! This week long safari will have kids crafting away in Kalahari Crafts, running and jumping and playing in Grassland Games, singing in an exciting African environment in the Madagascar music site. Each of the five Baobab Blast Daily Themes—Trust, Love, Follow, Care, and Share -—connects to the overarching theme of community.

Throughout the week, kids will get a consistent message of God’s unconditional love and be encouraged to help build up God’s kingdom on earth - both in and out of Baobab Blast. The interconnectedness of the theme in this year’s program and activities makes it easier than ever for kids to see how their faith is part of who they are and how they act in the world. The Daily Themes helps bridge the Bible stories to everyday life. There is a smooth progression of the Daily Themes throughout the week, but they are also appropriate for stand-alone use.

This is the Vacation Bible School your children won’t forget! It’s all about having fun together and learning about God’s love.
