Camp Starlight provides children whose lives are affected by HIV/AIDS the opportunity to enjoy an incredible camping experience. This is their time to play, learn, explore, and create friendships in a safe place where they know they are accepted, supported, and loved.
We are a 501c3 nonprofit that receives all of our support through monetary and in-kind donations to make camp an incredible experience for our campers.
Throughout the year, there are several ways to support the kids of Camp Starlight:
Make a financial contribution (via PayPal or Mighty Cause) to support our operations
Designate Camp Starlight as the beneficiary of your retail rewards through the Fred Meyer giving program
Purchase supplies we need to make camp magic happen (see list below, or select from our Amazon Wish List).
Contact info@camp-starlight.org if your company or organization would like to partner with Camp Starlight to support our campers
Thank you for your support! If you have questions or are interested in other ways of supporting Camp Starlight, contact our fundraising lead, Holly Wyrwich, at
