For many, summer is a chance to create wonderful, lasting memories for your kiddos. However, it’s also a long stretch of time to come up with ideas on how to entertain those sweet children. Vacation Bible School is something must of us have grown up—with or at least familiar with—and it’s a great way to provide some healthy activity for your kids. We’ve put together a list of VBS programs in the greater Nashville area to help you find one that works for your family. (Listed in calendar order to the best of our ability.)
