Lorain County Vacation Bible Schools and Beyond ~ 2013

**Check out my guide for Frugal Summer Fun in Northeast Ohio!**

Start planning activities for the kiddies before they start saying, “I’m bored”!

One fun and frugal events my kids really look forward to each summer is attending a couple Vacation Bible Schools in our area!  Area churches offer these week-long  events for a very low cost and most are even FREE!

Does your church offer something for kids this summer?  Simply send me an email with as much information as possible and I can list it!

All events listed are FREE unless noted.  While I did my best to compile the most accurate information, please contact the churches below for more information before VBS begins.
