When it comes to picking out Vacation Bible School (VBS) programs, finding a curriculum that’s both theologically progressive and comprehensive can be daunting. For years, churches have had to figure out how to piece together various materials to develop a VBS experience that aligns with their values. Enter Compassion Camp, a breath of fresh air in the VBS curriculum world, offering a complete curriculum designed for today’s progressive churches.

What sets Compassion Camp apart is that with one purchase, you get the entire curriculum. When you choose Compassion Camp for your VBS program, you’re choosing simplicity and completeness. With your one purchase, you receive the whole curriculum—there’s no need to buy additional materials or supplemental add-ons.
Theologically Progressive and Engaging
Compassion Camp: What Every Living Thing Needs is an earth-care curriculum focused on the more-than-human world. While humans are a part of God’s creation, we aim to explore the needs of every living thing for shelter, food, water, air, and community through awareness, gratitude, wonderment, reciprocity, and kinship, and specifically, practice ways humans can have compassion for the more-than-human world regarding those needs.
With Compassion Camp, you won’t have to completely rewrite the Bible content or discussion sections. The material is engaging, relatable, and appropriate for kids of all ages. Learn more here.
