Galilee by the Sea

Immerses learners of all ages in Bible-times culture, helping children and aduls explore what it might have been like to live when Jesus did. Families will experience new traditions, taste new foods, try new arts and craft projects, and discover that God sent His most precious gift--His own son--to save us from sin.

The tribes visit the Marketplace, the Synagogue, the Seaside Playground, and in the midst of it all the Daily Drama unfolds. The day wraps up with Tribe Time, where families connect their experiences in “Galilee” to their modern-day lives.
