Morning sessions may include up to 3 of the following choices: Culinary Arts, Wire and Stone Creations, Muti-Media Art Sculptures, Percussion, Recorders, Theater Arts, Creative Movement, Hip-Hop, Photography, Art & Technology, Guitar, Hand Chimes, and Creative Writing. You may also choose our afternoon only session, and participate in the choirs, games, art, and service projects. Our Fine Arts Festival will culminate on Friday evening, July 25 at 6:30 with a dynamic, Christ-centered musical production and art gallery.
Vacation Bible School 2008, Jerusalem Marketplace
Imagine what it was like to live and work in the bustling city of Jerusalem at the time of Jesus. You would hear the chatter about this puzzling prophet as you talked with shopkeepers. You might work with people who had met Jesus, heard His teachings, or witnessed an actual miracle! Jerusalem Marketplace immerses learners in Bible-times culture, helping kids and adults explore what it might have been like to live when Jesus did. Families will experience new traditions, taste new foods, try new arts and crafts projects...and discover that Jesus chose the cross because of his unfailing love for each of us. Daily activities will include: Gathering time, Tribe time, Synagogue School, Village Playground, a visit to the Marketplace, and Snack time. Parents and grandparents are encouraged to participate as part of your child’s tribe.
OnStage Kids!
OnStage Kids! combines various theatrical and performance methods that truly encourage and enhance children's development. The OnStage Kids! program cultivates the physical, intellectual, social and emotional development of each student through a variety of drama games and activities.

Bay Area School of Protocol
All of Us love to be complimented and each of us feels a sense of pride and accomplishment when we have handled ourselves weill in a given situation. Children want to know what is expected of them. They are never too young to be taught what is and what is not acceptible behavior. Mastering social skills can make the difference in our children accomplishing their future goals. Come and have fun and increase self-confidence as we learn introductions, telephone etiquette, setting the table, posture, dining skills, respect, courtesy, and more!
