We’re excited to kick off our 2025 Reunion Tour with our Chicago area reunion at Pinstripes in Northbrook! Campers and staff are welcome to join us on Sunday October 19 from 5-7 PM for bowling, food and catching up with camp friends.

We can’t wait to see everyone there! #reunion #camp

We had an incredible Family Camp this week! Some highlights were a campfire at the Council Ring, talent show in Mike Hall, softball & basketball games, a pickleball tournament, all our favorite camp activities, and Dan’s famous S’moregasbord!

So much fun with camp friends new and old! We can’t wait for Family Camp 2026. 😎🏕️

Yesterday, we said goodbye to our friends from the Four Star Fellowship. 😢 Now in its 7th year, Four Star Fellowship brought over 100 youth and mentors from the south and west sides of Chicago to North Star to experience summer camp for a week. This year’s group was our largest ever!

The fellows participated in camp activities like archery, riflery, climbing, fishing, tubing, pickleball, disc golf and more. We also played Capture The Flag, went on day trips to the Namekagon River & St Peter’s Dome, and had an inspirational final keylog ceremony campfire at the Council Ring.

Many fellows spoke at the final campfire about being nervous beforehand, but in the end were super thankful for the new friends they made after a wonderful experience. They learned that taking a risk and pushing themselves out of their comfort zone can lead to personal accomplishments and life lessons worth bringing back home to their communities in Chicago.

Thanks to @camp4allkids @youthguidancechi @eyeleadfoundation @h.o.o.dheroes @champsmentoring @legalprepwildcats for their partnership!

#summercamp #camp #youthdevelopment

Carry on
Keep those fires burning,
And soon we’ll be returning,
So carry on…

Thanks for an incredible summer! We’ll see you next year! 👋🏕️

Another North Star Games in the books! Congrats to all who participated, and always remember: it just doesn’t matter.
