FAQ's
Frequently Asked Questions
What ages are eligible to come to Vacation Bible School?
Children who are K-5th grade are eligible to participate! Be sure to enter the grade your child will enter in the fall during the registration process.
Is anyone eligible to volunteer at VBS?
We only allow teens and adults who attend Cornerstone to volunteer at our VBS. All VBS workers are required to complete a background check.
What should my child wear?
Casual attire is best (shorts, t-shirts) with comfortable shoes (tennis shoes preferred). Your child will have a game time every day, and they will need to be comfortably dressed. Also, sometimes crafts and snacks can get a little messy, so wear something that you don’t mind getting dirty.
What should my child bring?
As little as possible. They will be moving from room to room, and unnecessary things can get lost easily.
May I stay on campus during VBS?
For the safety of all children, any visitors or parents who wish to stay throughout the evening will need to be a background checked volunteer. There are many different roles available. Email kerry@cornerstone.place and we can find a place that is a good fit for you.
What types of snacks will you serve?
VBS snacks each day will be based off of the day’s theme!
How will my child’s food allergies be handled?
Make sure you indicate any allergies on the registration form. Kerry Miller, our Children's Director, will reach out to the parent/guardian of each child before VBS starts and create an alternative for each child.

How do I know what group my child will be in?
We plan to finalize the groups the week before VBS begins. Our groups are determined largely by age, with some overlap as necessary due to space. When you check in your child the registration team will have your child’s group information and your child(ren) will receive a matching wristband for their group.
How are group assignments decided?
All of our games, crafts and lessons are geared towards specific ages, so children will be with their peers engaging in age specific activities.
What time should I bring my child?
- Monday registration will open at 6:00pm. The main session doors will open at 6:10pm for drop off.
- Main session doors will open for kids at 6:15pm Tuesday - Friday.
- We ask that a parent/adult walk your child into the building and drop them off at their group each day.
What time should I pick up my child?
You are invited to attend our closing assembly each day at 8:15pm. Pickup will begin immediately after this session.
How do I pick up my child?
Please park and come in to pick up your child(ren). No child will be dismissed without their parent presenting their security tag that was given at check in. Please remember your child’s group for quicker pickup!
• If you forget or lose your child’s security tag, please visit the registration area for a replacement. Please note that a picture of the tag is permissible for entry, so it would be a good idea to save a picture of it on your phone as soon as you receive it in case it is lost or forgotten.

What if someone other than me is picking up my child?
Please let registration know at drop-off if someone other than you will be picking up your child. Be sure to give your child’s security tag or send a picture of it to that person. If that person does not have your child’s security tag, he/she will be asked to step aside until you can be contacted.
