If you’re struggling to find something to occupy the kids the last week before public school starts, St. Mark’s Church is again coming to the rescue.
St. Mark’s Episcopal Church’s VBS (Vacation Bible School) camp is the week of August 19-23 .
The camp is for for pre-K to entering 5th grade. But if you have older kids/teens you’d like to occupy, you might want to convince them to volunteer as helpers. The annual camp is run by CORI-checked adults and young adult volunteers.
Kids do not have to be affiliated with St. Mark’s (or any) church or be Southborough residents to participate in the program.
Here is a reminder of this summer’s details:
St. Mark’s Episcopal Church will hold its 2019 Vacation Bible School (VBS) on Monday, August 19, through Friday, August 23, 9 a.m. to noon each day.
St. Mark’s is located at 27 Main St. in Southborough. Children from Southborough and surrounding towns are welcome and do not need to be St. Mark’s Church members or members of any church to attend. The program is open to children entering Pre K (age 4) to those who are entering Grade 5.
This year’s VBS theme is “To Mars and Beyond.” Bible stories will focus on voyagers of all ages who will go on a space travel adventure, exploring where God’s power can take them. Voyagers will discover new realms of possibilities as they reach for the stars and encounter the limitless power and love of God. Each day there will be games, interactive Bible stories, science, skits, songs, snacks, skits, and more.
The cost is $50 for one child; $85, two children; $110, three children; and $135, four children, and includes all activities, snacks, a camp T shirt and a water bottle. . .
