Camp Starlight Information

Tradition. Spirit. Friendship. Adventure. Fun. Family. For over 70 years, these are the words that have been used by campers, parents, and staff to define their experiences and memories of Camp Starlight. Camp Starlight is a traditional summer camp located in Starlight, Pennsylvania, just two and a half hours northwest of New York City. A drive up our mile long private road will bring you to our 385 acre brother/sister campus, featuring our state-of-the-art program facilities, modern bunks, and 2 private lakes. We feature one 7-week session for our campers. Our traditional program is part structure and part choice, which gives campers the unique opportunity to try new things while having the chance to choose their favorites. This all culminates at the end of the summer when we host our annual Olympics. The camp is divided into Blue and White to compete in every activity they learned throughout the whole summer. When campers go home, they leave with new skills, life lessons learned, and enough friendships and warmth to last through the winter and beyond. We create memorable experiences and lifelong friendships for not only our 560 campers but also our 300 Starlight staff members. Our staff come from countries across the globe including Australia, New Zealand, the UK, Ireland, South Africa, Mexico, Colombia, the United States, and more. As a staff member, they undergo our immersive orientation experience before they are assigned to live in a bunk of children for the summer. Our diverse staff have the opportunity to impact our children in such a profound way. They affect change in our campers and grow on personal levels as well. Oh, and let's not forget about the fun. Jell-O Wrestling, MTV Night, and Staff Sports are just a few of the highlights awaiting you during a summer at Starlight.
