What We Do
Whether its through summer camps or stargazing tours, Starshine aims to bring the magic of nature alive through outdoor adventures for kids & adults
Summer Camp
Starshine camp activities blend nature, imagination, leadership, and performance. Choose from three camp themes: Imagineers, Wild Warriors, or Circus Performers. Kids go on scavenger hunts, catch bugs, create fun characters, build fairy houses, wear costumes, play games, go on quests, shoot arrows, and more!
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 performance. Kids ages 0+ go on scavenger hunts, catch bugs, create their own nature-inspired performances, splash and dig, build fairy houses, forts and more, while the adults get deep in vacation mode!
Birthday Parties
Want to celebrate your child's birthday with less work and more fun? Choose Starshine to create a magical, fun, and sparkly birthday party for your birthday kid of any age! Choose the beautiful setting of Suttle Lodge or your preferred event location. Activities are tailored to the party theme or birthday kid's interests. Starshine will lead group games and activities that will feature play, imagination, dance, and music that are inclusive of all party guests, while specially celebrating the birthday kid.
Event & Wedding Childcare
Starshine offers premium childcare during large events and wedding festivities, brightening them for kids and their families. Kids play games, dress up, make crafts, go on treasure hunts, perform magic tricks, listen to stories, sing songs, and when needed are tucked into bed so adults can fully enjoy the event experience. Starshine will create a custom experience based on your needs. We carefully craft activities for any group and number of kiddos ages 0+. We provide a screen-free, outdoor (when possible), and unique experience for kiddos. Starshine will travel to most venues in Central Oregon.
Stargazing Tours
Enjoy the brilliance of Central Oregon's incredible night sky! You'll listen to an ancient story about the stars, find constellations, find and learn about other interesting visible night sky objects, and look at visible planets through a 70mm beginners telescope (100 x's the human eye). Each participant will receive and learn how to use a sky map, specialized to the month of viewing. Special Full Moon programs available!
