Opportunity Christian Church is offering kids the chance to learn a little about nature and cool off with daily swims during its vacation Bible school. The school is scheduled from Aug. 4-7 at the Zephyr Conference Center on Liberty Lake.

Classes will run from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. each day and children age 2 through the sixth grade are invited to attend. In addition to nature study and swimming, the school also includes drama, music, Bible study and creative arts.

Children are asked to bring a sack lunch, swimsuit and towel each day. Parents are responsible for providing transportation to and from the conference center. Cost is $5 per child or $7.50 per family for non-church members.

Advance registration is required. The deadline is July 30. To register, call the church office at 926-3691.

Opportunity Christian will also host an ice cream social at 6 p.m. on Sunday. The free event will also include bingo and other games.
