Alumni blog #1

If you’ve ever spent the summer at Camp Starlight then the chances are that when the end of June comes around each year, your mind starts to wander back to those days spent in the gorgeous Pocono Mountains.  Once you’ve been part of camp then it has a special place in your heart which never leaves you. 

Just because our alumni can’t be here with us in person each year, doesn’t mean that they can’t continue to be a part of Camp Starlight.  Just look at the plaques on the rafters of the dining hall and every one of you has a place forever here.   You form part of the traditions and spirit of Camp Starlight which the campers here today enjoy, not forgetting you’re part of the ever growing Starlight family. 

We will be running a special blog throughout the summer which will hopefully bring those memories flooding back to you and make you feel like you’re almost here too.

The photo illustrating this blog was requested by Shelley Shapiro Nolan who joined as a camper aged just seven in 1947 and rose through the ranks to become a counselor, spending her last summer here in 1959.  Hope you like it Shelley!
