Launch kids on a cosmic quest where they’ll have a blast shining Jesus’ light to the world. Stellar rockets kids on an out-of-this-world adventure that’s light years of faith-building fun.
Each day at Stellar VBS, kids launch into field-tested rotations that reinforce key teachings from Sacred Scripture and Sacred Tradition.
At Stellar, one memorable Bible Point and one key aspect of Sacred Tradition (called the “Catholic ID”) are reinforced throughout the stations, each day—making these key points easy to apply light years after VBS is over.
