Is there a way to get old VBS kits? Looking especially at 2003 Scuba or 1999 Treasure Hunt
Check Christian book distributors (CBD). They often sell past themes discounted.

Hi Josh! Thanks for the great resources. We didn’t know that existed. It’s a great way to share something valuable that may otherwise be tossed out. Are you involved with vbsconnect.org in some way? Just thinking out loud, but we might want to write a blog post that points back to these as options for those looking.
I am looking for the music from, “The Ultimate Adventure” VBS from the late 1990’s. Can anyone help direct me?
There was a VBS one year that was about different countries does anybody remember the name of it?

I’m searching for any Lifeway VBS music cd’s from past themes/years.
Hi Marrie! One of our cool customers pointed out this cool resource. It’s not totally up to date, but you might find something helpful there: http://www.vbsconnect.org/
Looking for a VBS title (2003-2005) the “camp name” was something like CAMP IWILLAGOWAY, meaning I Will Go God’s Way. I would like to know the correct spelling of the “camp name” and who published it. The theme was a study of David as I recall. thank you!
Hi Becky. Wow, you’ve stumped us. We’ll keep looking. If you find out or remember, don’t leave us hanging. We’d love to add it to the list.
I’m looking for WordAction “Action Heroes” VBS 2006. We really want to have this theme this year. Please let me know if you have the materials, teachers books, activity books for the student, banner, Bible memory posters etc.
Please, Please, Please
Hi Laura. Thanks for asking. We did a search but didn’t find very much out there for it. It appears to have been a limited publishing. We just found one video that went with it. We’d be happy to do your t-shirts for you. We can create custom designs to match any theme you do.

Joy Trek – 1989. I’ve been searching the internet for song clips and I can’t find anything. I googled the lyrics I could remember and this pdf of a newspaper from 1989 came up! I love the internet! https://swco-ir.tdl.org/…/222617/Santa_Anna_1989_06_22.pdf
How great is that, Jennifer?! We got lost in that newspaper. What a blast from the past!
We found this too. Not too much info, but definitely a hit. Internet love! http://www.copyrightencyclopedia.com/a-journey-with-jesus-through-time-and-space-joy-trek-sing/
Does anyone remember a dinosaur VBS from around 2008? I have searched the Internet and cannot find anything about this one.

HI all…
I am in need of the music for Circle G Ranch 2005. I can not find it anywhere.
Any help will be appreciated.
Hi Wendell, We couldn’t find it either, but here’s a video with pretty clean audio on 3 of the songs. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PJualGKRulM
Hope you find what you’re looking for. 🙂
This was a very good video with music…. We actually used Circle G in 2005 and I had everything except the music which someone borrowed and
never returned. You just gotta have the music! I have been lucky enough to find Groups Avalanche Ranch from 2007 . Still searching for the Bible Point posters though.
Thanks again for your help…
I’m looking for a VBS song from my past but I don’t know what publisher, what year, or what the VBS program was even called. The song is called “The VBS Workout” and we did it in the 90s. My church played that song every year as the start of our program but recently the cassette has gone missing. Does anyone know this song?
Hmmmm. That’s a tough one. We’ll keep an eye out.
Group had one in the early 90’s “promise builders”. I think – anyone remember that? I still get the chorus of God’s Got A Plan . . Working in the world today. – it was kind of rap
Gotta keep our eyes out for that one. Thanks, Kathy.
Found a bobs booklet hiding on top of a heat vent in our church where we are doing remodel, there is no date when it was published. The title is Pioneers of faith. Publisher is Zondervan.
Awesome! Thank you for telling us.
