The Federated Church of Sturbridge and Fiskdale has announced it will once again offer its popular Vacation Bible Camp this summer. According to Rev. David W. Cote, this year’s camp will take place from July 21 – 25, 2025 from 9 a.m. to noon on church property at 8 Maple Street, Sturbridge, between Town Hall and the Joshua Hyde Library.
The theme for this year’s camp is “Live it Out.” Participating children will have an opportunity to focus on five key aspects of faith—love, live, share, forgiveness, and service—each rooted in a Bible story that encourages them to embody these values in their daily lives. This emphasizes practical application, guiding children to live out their faith through tangible actions that reflect Christ’s teachings.
“We’ve heard it before: Actions speak louder than words,” says Pastor Dave. “ So, what does that look like for followers of Jesus? It means more than just learning the stories in the Bible. At this year’s vacation bible camp, kids will learn those stories, but then they will be empowered to move their faith into action.”
The program, which will involve storytelling, games, crafts, and snacks, will be run by CORI-certified teachers who practice SafeChurch policy.
The Federated Church Vacation Bible Camp is open free of charge to all children in the community, ages 6 – 12, but pre-registration is requested. Please call the Church Office at (774) 304-1021 or email them at churchoffice@sturfed.org. The office is also open Tuesday through Friday from 9 a.m. to noon.
