No matter what station they're exploring, kids will hear the daily Bible Point–and experience it in a new way! At Crocodile Dock, every activity plays an important role in the overall Bible learning experience. Kids will love this multi-sensory trek through Crocodile Dock! |

At Crocodile Dock VBS, kids join a Bayou Crew where 5 elementary-age children form a small group. Each Crew has an adult or teenage Crew Leader. Crews rotate through seven stations every day, and the daily Bible Point is reinforced at each station throughout Crocodile Dock in creative ways. |

The Stations |
||
|
START |
1. Sing & Play Swamp Stomp |
In addition to fun praise songs, kids sing at least one song that specifically ties to that day's Bible Point. Crews discuss ways they've seen God at work in their everyday lives - called God Sightings. |
|
ROTATE |
2. Dockside Drive-in |
In each day's exciting cliffhanger segment, Chadder Chipmunk explains the daily Bible Point. Then kids do exciting, memorable activities to help them apply what they've learned to their daily lives. |
|
3. Bible Bayou |
Kids experience the daily Bible Story in a hands on way, and small group discussions with their Crew Leaders reinforce the unforgettable Bible experiences. | |
|
4. Crawfish Crafts & Missions |
Kids make Bible Point crafts that remind them of the day's Bible Story and Point. Plus, through Operation Kid-to Kid, kids experience what it means to share God's love. | |
|
5. Gator Games |
Kids play games that connect with the daily Bible Point or Story. For example, on day 5, kids pull each other across a wet, slippery "sea" as they remember how God's people crossed the Red Sea. Kids compare their experience of caring for crewmates to the way God cares for us today. | |
|
6. Snack Shack |
Each day at Crocodile Dock, a different group of kids skips Gator Games time to prepare snacks for the entire VBS. Snack preparation provides kids with a unique opportunity to live out the daily Bible Point by serving others. | |
|
END |
7. Firefly Finale |
Drama experience, signing the Sing & Play Swamp Stomp songs, and watching the Spotlight Drama presentation help kids remember and apply the daily Bible Point and Bible Story they've learned throughout the day. |
