Bonus videos and free resources for the Camp Courage VBS children’s ministry curriculum (5 days · Elementary & PreK).
📖 VBS Memory Verses: Joshua 1:9 and Psalm 56:3
“Have I not commanded you to be strong and courageous? Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the LORD your God is with you wherever you go.” (Joshua 1:9, BSB)
PreK memory verse: “When I am afraid, I put my trust in You.” (Psalm 56:3, BSB)
Both verses are in one song. Joshua 1:9 for the big kids, Psalm 56:3 as the chorus so the whole camp learns it together — in a contemporary and an acoustic version, under Camp Courage Teaching Songs below.
▶ Motion demo videos for the Theme Song, the Memory Verse Song, and each day’s song, led by our music demo leader.
