Vacation Bible School Summer Day Camp will be happening at Christ Church’s West Campus located on 140 Green Pond Road, Rockaway, NJ from Monday, July 8 to Friday, July 12. To assist our families’ work schedules better, drop-off will be between 8:45am–9:15am and pickup will be promptly at 5pm.
Good news! Quest Kids will be providing much more than care for your children at Vacation Bible School — we will also be providing an age-appropriate, spiritual experience! Our staff is filled with true lovers of Christ who are not only trained to work with children, but are also appropriately interviewed, background checked, and hand chosen to work with your children.
Our Vacation Bible School Summer Day Camp program has been specifically designed and geared toward school children from 5 to 11 years old only.
All participants in Vacation Bible School are required to be fully potty trained. While we do recommend parents of our younger ages, such as Kindergarten, provide additional clothing for “accidents,” consistent or daily accidents will be addressed directly with parents.
Yes! However as was the case last year, spaces are VERY limited and expected to fill up pretty quickly. Once all slots are filled, a waiting list will be made and all are welcome to be added to that list.
No. Due to proper child/staff ratios we cannot accept same-day registration at Vacation Bible School Summer Day Camp. Christ Church has a requirement to abide by state guidelines regarding the handling of large numbers of children and adults. Therefore, to ensure that all of these requirements are met, all participants must be preregistered by the deadline provided.
Our Vacation Bible School Summer Day Camp is open to all children who would like to attend and we welcome any child regardless of prior church attendance.
Our Vacation Bible School Summer Day Camp has a Camp Nurse on-site at all times while activities are in session. This is typically either a Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN), Registered Nurse (RN), or Doctor (MD). If there is a medical emergency requiring EMT or hospital assistance, it will be up to the attending Camp Nurse to decide the appropriate course of action for each incident.
Yes! On the child registration form there is a location to specify if your child has a special need. There is also space provided to communicate what that special need is. Once registered, one of our staff members will contact you to talk further about the needs of your child. Also, if you would like to discuss whether VBS is a good fit for your child before you register, please contact us at klewis@christchurchusa.org.
No. While we are happy to provide two small snacks (AM and PM) for each child, we are requesting parents provide a packed lunch every day for each child to prevent any allergies or dietary issues. Please still alert us to any possible allergies on your registration form so that we can be aware.
Enroll your child in the grade they will be entering in the fall, NOT the grade they have just completed (e.g. my child is currently in 1st grade but will enter 2nd grade in the fall). In the example listed, you would enroll your child in 2nd grade.
At Christ Church, we will promote your child to 6th grade prior to VBS in July, therefore they will not be eligible. Please contact us at JFisher@ChristChurchUSA.org or ERodriguez@ChristChurchUSA.org for more information about our Middle School program.
No. All activities will take place on our Rockaway campus.
No. We open our facility for children to be checked-in as early as 8:45am up until 9:15am. We cannot receive children before this time.
Please pick your child/children up promptly at 5pm (or 5:30pm for the Montclair shuttle) as we do not have any extended care available beyond this time. Failure to do so may result in additional late fees.
Yes. Parents are welcome at all times to be a part of the Vacation Bible School experience, however, if you need to be with your child throughout the week, we ask that you go through a standard background check in order to participate with their group. Our background procedures are required for all individuals 18 and over to ensure a safe and secure environment.
We understand that during events such as Vacation Bible School that multiple people may be handling the transportation of the children.
On your registration form, you can authorize up to three individuals to pick up your child if you are not available. Late fees do still apply for late pickup however.
