VBC @ OLA 2026 was a blast! We can't wait to do it again next year! Please check back in April for the dates for VBC 2027.

VBC at OLA is designed for children entering grades 1 through 5. Fifth graders fill a special role of being crew leader apprentices and preparing the Friday liturgy. Youth volunteers (grades 6-12) are essential to leading this camp. Adult volunteers (VIRTUS trained and fingerprinted through the LA Archdiocese) are needed for supervision.


Children should have previous experience in a classroom with a minimum age of 6. If your child is ages 3-5, OLA Preschool offers a summer school program. Please contact OLA School for more information about preschool.
