A Year of Mooseness Celebration

Our MOOSE-ic Festival, presented by Kalitta Air, is North Star Reach’s signature summer celebration—bringing together music, community, and camp magic for a full day of fun!

Set in the heart of camp, this festival is all about slowing down, soaking up summer, and celebrating Mooseness in every form.
