Here's what I would do... move the trees to block the ugly background to the right behind the dock, have kids stand/sit (some each) on dock. Put the preschoolers or Kindergartners in the boat. Put the croc down to the left in the front to the left of the stage and the boat. Have olders sit on the edge/squat behind sitters/stand behind squatters on the stage. Dunno if it hold 60 or not. Also as a VBS director myself, sometimes you gotta forgo long time tradition and do something else- like take them outside by the publicity banner.
Blessings!
