*The leadership of this ecumenical VBS group has made the difficult decision to cancel the Bozeman location of this year's VBS due to lack of staff to lead the event here. However, Living Waters is set up to continue with their location and will still take registrations and volunteers! If currently registered campers would like to transfer to the Belgrade site or cancel their registration and receive a refund please reach out to office@bozemanumc.org to get that process started.

Please read carefully:
I, as a volunteer of VBS, understand that many activities are happening at Living Waters UMC. I understand that while on the property of any of the buildings in use, I will be covered by that church's liability insurance if something were to go wrong with the building or equipment that belongs to that building. However, for any transportation to and from VBS, I understand that insurance coverage will be my responsibility.  I further expressly authorize and consent to any medical care by qualified medical personnel for myself, if necessary, because of illness or injury.
