We loved using Group's Scuba VBS. Having the kids engage in God's word through the various activities is always amazing to see. Although we didn't have time to complete all the imgaination station activities, we loved how everything we needed came together. Group does a wonderful job thinking through of how things should go and for that I am super grateful!

Thank you so much for your fantastic 5-star rating of Scuba VBS! We truly appreciate your feedback and are thrilled to hear that you had a wonderful experience using Group's Scuba VBS. It warms our hearts to know that the kids were able to engage with God's word through the exciting activities.
I like Group VBS and how easy it is to work with. I have had my teachers telling me the past few years that they think the curriculum has been getting weaker over the past few years in regards to the Bible content: The gospel message, what Bible verse is paired with the Bible story, the message in some of the songs etc.

We were happy with the program this year. We had a very small and young attendance so we modified some of the material.

Our volunteers and attending children loved the SCUBA theme of Diving into Friendship With God this summer. The SCUBA music will continue to be a part of our Sunday school worship through the fall and we plan to host a SCUBA Christmas celebration in December! The updated imagination kits for crews rather than individual students was a big help with the budget and allowed room for fitting an extra guest into a crew to participate with the group supplies. The updated session for Sticky Scripture and the Gospel of John booklet was a great way to introduce the Bible to new students! The children enjoyed receiving their own copy of the Gospel of John.

Serious lack of depth. There were plenty of deeper directions to go here. Friendship verses are a plenty in Scripture, but not having David and Jonathan and ANY application of how we as Christians act in friendship to others- missed. Bigger miss- JESUS is how we are friends with God. John 15 not being referenced seems incredibly wrong for this VBS when the book of John was central to telling this week. Gospel of friendship- true friendship with Jesus- missed except for day 4 (which is the same and appropriate Passion narrative each year). I know you can't mention sacraments- being the interdenominational publisher you are- but MOST Christian denominations have strong and important ties to Baptism. Having an entire theme focused under water and not having a Baptism connection just seems like huge miss to me. Last critique- Hands down the worst I've heard from Group on music. This is the first time we've supplimented with other music. In years past this has been life-giving and a huge faith impact years down the line- this year- most parents and kids were ready for the music to be done. I've led VBS's for 12 years. This is the first time I'm actively thinking we may need to rethink our VBS curriculum direction.

Overall it was a good VBS, however it seemed a bit like there were some cost-cutting measures that took place. The worship was fair- but didn't really relate at all the SCUBA theme, which as disappointing. We missed the hands-on aspects that usually took place during the closing each day, as well as the "send it home" option in Imagination Station. The curriculum material was good.

Scuba VBS was a fun dive into relationship with Jesus as well as meeting all the deep ocean creatures. This program was our first try with the new Sticky Scripture station and while I was a little skeptical so many of our students said it was their favorite rotation and were so excited to take their Gospel of John books they had been marking all week home with them at the end of VBS. We love the way Group makes it easy for every station to prepare. We are hoping to go back to individual supplies for crafts since some of them we needed extra of without a whole other set of 10, but overall this was such a wonderful refresh of the underwater theme with wonderful Biblical content!
