North Star Reach
Private
Free, medically-supported nonprofit camp on 105 wooded acres bordered by two lakes in Pinckney, serving children with serious health challenges and their families at no charge. Michigan's only barrier-free medical camp, it has a 24/7 on-site health center able to manage central lines, chemotherapy and dialysis so children too sick for ordinary camp can attend. Serves conditions from cancer and heart disease to organ transplants and blood disorders.

★★★★★jessicamathews29You will never meet a more dedicated, loving, huge heart group of people. They get it and are doing the universe work for these kids and families. There is no better cause. Place is pure gold. And all heart, and love. 💜
★★★★★Lola SmilezOur experience was absolutely amazing, we will be back from family weekend in june!!!! Yall want be disappointed
★★★★★Lee BenjaminDisclaimer- last summer I worked my first session volunteering with medical and had a fantastic experience. This camp is built to provide a camp experience for kids with medical conditions that preclude them from being able to attend overnight camp otherwise. There is a reason kids look forward to returning year after year. The staff is amazing, leadership is strongly engaged, and the nursing is tireless and top notch, prioritizing safety while enabling a ton of fun, relationship building, and challenging kids to achieve things they would never have a chance to consider. Kudos North Star Reach- can’t wait to get back.
★★★★★Crystal HurteauWhat a phenomenal place! If you are looking for a camp experience for your child with a significant health condition then this is it. They have everything! Check their website for details. They even do family camps which we are hoping to register for ❤ The staff were so nice and welcoming. We went for the Fall Family Fest last weekend which was our introduction to the camp.
