Tucker Road Baptist
Tucker Road Baptist Church, 1455 Tucker Road, Hood River, will hold its annual Vacation Bible School July 13-17, from 9 a.m. to noon. The theme of this year’s VBS is “Journey off the Map,” for children ages 4-5, 6-8, and 9-11. Teachers are working very hard to make an exciting VBS this year.
The day will begin at 9 a.m. with the Worship Rally, then it’s off to a creative Bible study in the Book of Daniel. After the Bible study, comes snack and recreation (games) time, journey with a missionary (learn about missions), or a special project during craft time. And there is a big surprise at the end of each day; a Christian Illusionist is coming.

Riverside UCC
Looking for a summer camp that incorporates art, outdoor activities, music, games and healthy snacks? Sign up for Riverside’s “Earth Camp,” where kids will grow in faith, have fun, and change the world.
Riverside Earth Camp is an environmentally focused 5-day experience that inspires kids to make a difference with their own unique approach and gifts to the world. We start each day with gathering music, crafts and skits, then move through four different classrooms, where we use touch, taste, sound, visuals and real-life demonstrations to teach kids an appreciation and respect for this planet that we call home.
The program will be based on an earthly story with heavenly meaning — a parable from the teachings of Jesus. Every day, the kids will be exploring an environmental question, such as, “What do seeds need in order to grow?” along with a spiritual question, like, “What do I need in order to grow?”
Riverside Earth Camp will be held at Riverside Church, 317 State St. Registration is $50 for the week and includes healthy snacks. Grades K-5 (ages 5-11) welcome.
To register, visit www.riversideucc.com — see “Nurture Your Children” link — and mail to RCC, PO Box 656, Hood River, OR 97031. Extra donations welcome; scholarships available.
