As the days get brighter and temperatures get warmer, the countdown to the summer of 2013 is getting closer! We know everyone is excited to return to the 18461.  It seems like everything reminds us of Starlight!

The month leading up to camp can seem like the longest, but all throughout the year we try to keep the energy of camp amongst our camp family. Our campers and staff are constantly writing to us about things in their everyday lives that remind them of Starlight.  We’ve seen photos of wacky mac at the grocery store, fellow Starlighters hearing “Can’t Smile Without” you on the radio, or and even spotted fellow camp people on television! It seems as if the Starlight community keeps expanding and we can’t go anywhere without hearing or seeing something that brings flashbacks of the wonderful place we call our summer home.

One of the best things about Starlight is the pride in which our campers and staff take from being a part of Starlight. They wear their Starlight T-shirts with honor to class, create everlasting friendships after camp with their fellow camp siblings, and even our staff bring their great friends to share the “experience of a lifetime” as it has been quoted in the past. These are the simple things that make us remember why Starlight is such a special place to be.

As the years go by and we look forward to each and every summer, it’s important to remember the memories we’ve had but to also be excited for the future! Less than 55 days until we all are reunited again! So, next time you’re in the car, walking down the street, or simply watching TV… keep you eyes and ears open because you might see something that brings back the nostalgia of camp!

We love to bring back the memories of the previous summers throughout our social media platforms. We hope you follow us on Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter for updates all throughout the year.
