★★★★★Brandon Butcher

I went there 2 times and everytime i went there it was the same nice people that I looked forward to meeting, they have great sport options and they taught me how to swim, I also got taught how to fish, I found out sports that I was good at that I hadn’t heard of before and it’s a growing experience teaching maturity

If you're looking for somewhere to send your son for the summer, pick North Star. Besides the fantastic food and beautiful landscape, the effort that leadership puts in to make sure the kids have not only a great summer, but one that challenges them and turns them into a better person, is worth every penny.

Having continuously improved since the mid-1940s, NSC has been an amazing place for boys to learn, grow, play and make life-long friendships. The chance to do this outdoors, unplugged and in the first-person is part of life that is disappearing from lives of modern youth. Many of my basic skills in camping, backpacking, rock climbing, wilderness survival, sailing/canoeing, fishing, tennis, photography and rocketry came from my 8-week summers at North Star. High-quality staff and counselors made a big difference. The quality of the nature, the trips we took to the Quetico Provincial Park, Porcupine Mountains, Brul River, and Taylor Falls, etc., and the musicals we performed were unforgettable experiences. I can't really compare it to its true peers because I didn't try them, or frankly want to, after my first summer at NSC.

As a hesitant first time camper, North Star staff put our son right at ease and helped him settle in quickly. He came back home with new friends, many new experiences, more confidence, more independent, and willing to try new things. He developed new interests which have continued since he’s been home. Call kept him busy and engaged with days worth of stories and memories to share!

★★★★★Miles Goldberg

My experience over at North Star has been life changing. The dynamics and feel of this camp are unmatched. If you’re considering sending your son here just remember this, your son will have the opportunity to meet and grow with peers from all around the world in a loving and compassionate environment!!
