What camps do you do in the summer in your kids ministry if you don't do a traditional VBS?

Last week in our Kids Ministry Circle Roundtable call, we talked about rhythms around volunteer training. Fall is around the corner and you may be working through your 2026-2027 Volunteer training calendar. So, let's take a poll! How often do you train your volunteers? Bonus question to answer in the chat...are your rhythms working? PS: If you are a member in the Kids Ministry Circle Roundtable, I just dropped a deep dive video explaining my 4-part Volunteer Training Strategy into your specific classroom!

Today is the day! Our premium members are invited to the first Roundtable Coaching Call. Today at 10AM MST! (check your email for the zoom link) It is not too late to join the Kids Ministry Circle community at the $25/month and join our call today.

START HERE! 👋Hello! I am so glad you are here. This is a growing community filled with Kids Ministry leaders from around the world looking to build community with other leaders and continue to learn & grow and they love and serve their local church. We have TWO active groups inside this community: ➡️VBS Cohort 2026 ➡️Spring Cohort 2026 ➡️Premium Members: Kids Ministry Leader Roundtable ($25/month) If you are an active participant in these groups, you should have access to the corresponding course in the course tab. If you have not been given access, reach out and I can help you! 📣What is the Community chat for? 1️⃣ Questions! Working on a project or stuck with a problem? Ask away! 2️⃣ Encouraging Stories! Is God moving in your ministry and through your volunteers, we want to hear it. 3️⃣ Prayer Requests! Big event coming up? Share it so we can all be praying for you & your ministry. 📣What is the community chat NOT for? 1️⃣ Venting. While we want this to be a place to be encouraged & equipped, this is not the space to vent about your senior pastor or a frustrated volunteer. 2️⃣ Promoting your resources and/or materials. I do my absolute best to share the best resources for all Kids Ministry leaders. You can comment on a post to share a resource, but please no promotion posts. Did you create a resource that you would like to share--send it to me! We are cheering you on!

I chat with Madison, the creator of Backyard VBS! If you are looking for an alternative to tradition VBS, this is such an amazing option! I can't wait you to listen or watch!
