NORTH STAR REACH
North Star Reach offers children with serious health challenges a piece of childhood they might not otherwise experience—campfires and s’mores with new friends, paddling a canoe across the lake, catching fireflies at dusk, or shooting a bow and arrow for the first time. At North Star Reach, campers and families come together in a place where joy is abundant, friendships flourish, and belonging is at the heart of everything we do. Our mission is to provide life-changing, barrier-free camp experiences—always free of charge—for children with serious health challenges and their families. Through our week-long summer camp programs and Family Camp weekend programs, we bring everyone together, including parents and siblings, to build a community where children and families feel supported and connected.
Every donation, no matter the size, helps in reaching our goals. You decide whether it’s a single donation or a monthly donation.
Volunteers help North Star Reach stretch every dollar to make the greatest impact on our campers and, in return for the gift of time, find a place filled with community and belonging themselves.

We are thankful for the support of our community!
Since North Star Reach opened in 2016, generous donors have made it possible for more than 3,500 children with serious health challenges and their families to experience the magic of camp. Thanks to the support of our incredible community, we continue to create spaces where kids can make lifelong memories, build friendships, and discover their inner strength—all at no cost to their families.
We extend our deepest gratitude to the visionaries who helped make North Star Reach a reality. Their generosity and dedication have laid the foundation for countless moments of joy and connection.
