Our Mission
Camp Starlight provides a caring, safe, recreational, and fun camping experience for children whose lives have been affected by HIV/AIDS and/or the stigma against the LGBTQIA+ community.
Caring. Safe. Recreational. Fun.
Our Philosophy
How we show up
Belong Completely
Campers are accepted, supported, and cared for exactly where they are.
Play Freely
Camp is their time to play, learn, explore, and build friendships.
Share by Choice
Every camper decides what parts of their experience or identity they want to share.
Our Vision
Where we’re going
Joy
Instead of fear
Confidence
Instead of stigma
Community
Instead of isolation
We envision a world where all children affected by HIV/AIDS and all LGBTQIA+ youth experience confidence instead of stigma, community instead of isolation, and joy instead of fear.
Every child deserves to belong
Our commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion
Camp Starlight welcomes and affirms campers of all races, ethnicities, gender identities, sexual orientations, health statuses, and family backgrounds.
We are committed to removing barriers, challenging stigma, and creating an inclusive community where every camper has equal opportunities to grow, belong, and thrive.
