What is the cost per child for Amazon Expedition?
The cost for your VBS depends on a variety of factors: how much you want to publicize it, how many leaders and students you have, how much is donated toward your craft and snack times, how many “extras” you want to purchase, etc. With that in mind, we have found that the cost per child for Amazon Expedition runs between $10-$15 (this total doesn’t include T-shirts and student music CDs). Again, however, this will depend on how elaborate you would like your VBS to be. We endeavored to put together a VBS that even the most budget-conscious church could afford. For example, the craft, game, and snack ideas are all comprised of relatively common, inexpensive materials (i.e., there are no elaborate “craft kits” that you’ll need to purchase); the teacher resource CD-ROMs contain printable lesson illustrations; and the director’s resource CD-ROM contains printable promotional materials.
