VBX STUDENT LEADERS
For students who have completed 5th grade and beyond
Join us as a VBS leader to explore all you are created to be while supporting campers through games, music, art, play and more!
We welcome back Green Lake Lutheran Ministries camp counselors, and you will have the chance to indicate the level of responsibility you are comfortable with as a leader for group placement when you register. We are happy to confirm hours served and write recommendations for our awesome VBX leaders.
We welcome leaders that have completed 7th grade and beyond in our full and half day options! New this year, those who have just completed 5th and 6th grade can choose a full day option allowing them to be junior leaders in the morning and then have programing just for them in the afternoon focused on leadership development and of course, fun!

"My daughter said it was the best week ever!!! We will be back next year"
"This was my daughter's first time attending VBS. I sent her for the half day session and by day 2 she was asking if she could go to the full day! The energy, enthusiasm, and excitement was felt by all!"
"He was skeptical at first, but came home the first day LOVING it. He was sad that it didn't last longer."
