Church based bible schools are a popular summer option for families—not because they are cheap, but because the value one gets is immeasurable in terms of making good use of children’s time and having more time for parents to relax.
Weeklong vacation Bible schools limit children’s time spent watching TV and playing video games, and give parents more peace and quiet at home. They are also much less expensive than child care or camps for theater, music or sports, the Chicago Tribune says.
