COVID-19​
At Camp Under the Stars, safety has always been our first priority. We are taking COVID-19 and the safety of our campers and staff very seriously.
As a micro-camp, we have the flexibility to make the necessary changes to keep campers and staff safe. Our small group sizes and increased staff to camper ratio along with many acres of outdoor space allow us to easily adapt to the most current guidelines from the organizations below.
