By Kara Ault, Macaroni Kid Fayetteville & Rogers-Bentonville Publisher Mom June 3, 2023

The vast number of VBS programs in Northwest Arkansas can offer a great way for kids to stay entertained, make friends and learn about the Bible.

All the VBS programs I've listed are free & open to the public. Most VBS programs include a snack, craft, music, games & fun, all while learning about the Bible stories. I have listed them in order of date.

Please contact me at KaraA@macaronikid.com  if you know of others that should be listed and I will update the list. Enjoy, and share with friends!
