Vacation Bible Schools in Full Swing, Sports Camps Ready for Fall Season

Vacation bible schools are a hugely popular way for Minnesota families to keep their kids busy during the summer in an assuredly family-friendly way, based around a spiritual message.

Some range from soccer camps to weeks chock-full of activities.
