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.

  • Live music throughout the day

  • Food trucks and festival favorites

  • Campfires and s’mores

  • Relaxed camp vibes and community connection

Whether you’re dancing near the stage or unwinding by the fire, MOOSE-ic Festival is a one-of-a-kind experience rooted in joy, belonging, and the spirit of camp!
