What We Do
Whether it's through summer camps or stargazing tours, Starshine aims to bring the magic of nature alive through outdoor adventures for kids & adults
Summer Camp
Starshine camps blend nature, imagination, leadership, and performance activities. Kids go on scavenger hunts, catch bugs, create fun characters, build fairy houses, wear costumes, play games, go on quests, shoot arrows, paddle boats, and more! Camps for kids entering preschool through sixth grade.
Theater for Kids
Starshine's theater programs encourage creativity, self-confidence, emotional intelligence and and just plain fun for kids! Kids learn and hone theater skills, like movement, voice, character building, focus and concentration, as well as sensory and emotional awareness. All kids perform for an audience.
Stargazing Tours
Join Starshine to marvel at our incredible universe in the gorgeous setting of Central Oregon! You'll take in the brilliance of Central Oregon’s night sky while, locating constellations, observing visible planets, the moon, and other celestial objects, and listening to ancient stories about the stars. Tours begin about a half hour after sunset. Stay after the one-hour tour to get a glimpse into the deep sky through a telescope.
Mini Camp
Starshine offers private outdoor adventures for kids at The Suttle Lodge, Lake Creek Lodge, and House on Metolius. Starshine Mini Camp blends nature, imagination, and play. Kids ages 0+ go on scavenger hunts, catch bugs, explore, splash and dig, build fairy houses, forts and more, while the adults get deep in vacation mode!
