    We are proud to support North Star Reach in their efforts to offer children with serious health challenges a piece of childhood that 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 - the stuff of childhood. For More Info or to Donate 👉 https://bit.ly/KA4NSRKids Your support through the Kalitta for the KIDS! campaign will ensure children and their families will have the opportunity to participate in Family Camp Weekends in 2025. Your support through this campaign is also quadrupled, thanks to a generous match from Kalitta Air which will then be matched by Abercrombie & Fitch (up to $20,000) by Friday, September 20. Help keep the campfires burning with your support today!

    In Case You Missed It: Find Your Campfire - Volunteer Profile | Mary G Mary Gagnon, or Mary G as she is known at camp, is an OG. A camp original at both North Star Reach and Camp Michitanki, Mary has been involved since 2003. As a longtime nurse at Michigan Medicine, she connected her passion for the outdoors and working with children. An avid fisher, Mary is known for discovering Big Brownie, the legendary fish of Patterson Lake. 🐟 She also originated the outpost camping program at Camp Michitanki, which evolved into North Star Reach's yurt village, where campers enjoy archeology digs, scavenger hunts, and s'mores around the campfire. Mary cherishes the camp community and the safety it provides. "I get to make a difference doing things I love. It's meaningful to see kids connect and find people who are like them. That's what makes the mooseness so magical." 🌟 #CampHero #Campily #CampMagic #LovetheMooseness #MaryG #Mooseness #NorthStarReach #VolunteerProfile

    The 15th Swim to the Moon was the most epic one yet! Over two days, nearly 1,000 swimmers representing 32 states and 5 countries swam distances from a half mile up to 9.3 miles, and many double dipped and swam both days. Thank you to all of our swimmers and sponsors for the continued growth and success of this event!

    Tuesday Trivia Answer! 🌟❗ Last week, we asked where at camp this picture was taken. The answer: The flagpole outside one of our cabins!🏕️ Each flagpole at North Star Reach is made from wood harvested right here on our 105-acre camp. When campers arrive, the first activity is creating a cabin flag together. This flag flies outside their cabin for the entire week, symbolizing the unity, belonging, and community that are central to the camp experience. This special tradition is one of the many ways we help campers feel connected, supported, and ready to create lifelong memories. It’s all part of the magic we call "Loving the Mooseness." 💚 #Belonging #Campily #CampMagic #CampTraditions #Community #FunFact #LoveTheMooseness #NorthStarReach #TriviaAnswer
