Our mission

To provide life-changing camp experiences for children with serious health challenges and their families, free of charge.
Opportunities

Office Volunteer

Office work might seem boring, and, well, sometimes it is a bit, shall we say, tedious. The great thing is that you will be doing it in a camp office that is anything but. Behind the scenes is critical to our success and so is camp culture. What other office has moose living on top of bookshelves, mini-golf and unlimited supplies of M&Ms? Our camp office, of course. Just make sure to leave our database coordinator out of the shenanigans.

About us

Located on 105 beautiful wooded acres in Pinckney, Michigan, and bordered by two lakes, North Star Reach is a no-cost, medically-sound camp where thousands of children who would otherwise be too sick to go to camp can enjoy the experience of a lifetime. Our state-of-the-art health center, The Observatory, is one of the things that sets us apart.
