This week, Four Star Fellowship brought 80+ youth and mentors from Chicago to North Star for a week of summer camp — new friends, new activities, and new adventures outside their comfort zone.

They came to the Northwoods for a jam-packed week of fun: camp favorites like climbing, fishing, pickleball, archery, and riflery, along with Capture The Flag, an amazing Skit Show, late night DJ dance parties, and day trips to the Namekagon River and Copper Falls. A week’s worth of core memories and strong friendships.

On the final night, we had a Closing Campfire at the Council Ring. It’s always a special culmination of the week, but this year was extra special. During an emotional Keylog Ceremony, we honored Ron Stewart Jr. who was the first-ever Four Star Fellow to work a full North Star summer as a cabin counselor.

Ron’s leadership, work ethic, and heart will inspire many Chicago youth for years to come. So many Four Star Fellows talked about how North Star is their second home. Following Ron’s example, we can’t wait to welcome more Four Star Fellows home for a full summer in the future.

Thanks to @camp4allkids @youthguidancechi @eyeleadfoundation @champsmentoring for the partnership!

Yesterday was one of the wackiest days of the summer: Camper Counselor Day! Villa campers choose a staff member and trade clothes (and personas) with them for the day.

Check out some of our favorite switches. 🤣👕🥸
