Houston Reunion Announced

Join us in Houston as we get together to watch Joe Riccitelli's world famous Reunion video!

Saturday, December 4th
3:30pm at the home of the Schneider's
116 Whipple Drive in Bellaire, TX

Send us your "North Star" Pictures

No...not your camp, pics... but your "North Star" pics. It seems like there are lots of businesses with "North Star" in the title, or other things with "North Star" in their name, and who can blame them. So we're trying to collect as many "North Star" pictures as possible. If you're somewhere and see "North Star" on a store sign, on a billboard, on the side of a van, snap a pic and email it to office@northstarcamp.com. We'll add the pic to our photo album, too. Send us a description of where you took the picture, too, so we can add that as well.

Here is the North Star Coffee Bar, located near Cass Lake. Leb, Sue, Dan and Andy were on their way to visit our friends at Camp Kamaji when we drove by. We decided to take the picture and see how many "North Star" pics we could collect. Don't take pics if you're driving... we don't want anyone to get hurt. But lets see how many places we can find North Star.

NSC in STL

This last weekend Leb and Andy headed down to St. Louis for a full weekend slate.  First was the Camp for All Kids benefit dinner honoring Mike and Kathy Jay of Camp Kamaji. Proudly we can say that both Mike and Kathy are North Star alumni as both worked at camp and Mike "Moose" Jay was a camper at North Star as well.  Even their son Aaron worked at camp a few summers back.  The two of them have done so much for the organization over the past 19 years, and the recognition was well deserved. The event took place at Hendri's and the entertainment even featured Hayward, the bluegrass band of NSC alumni.  In St. Louis, the band was represented by Jon Sherman, Mike Simons and his fiancé Heather.  North Star is represented on the board of Camp for All Kids by Rob Porter, Paul Nathanson, Joe Mendes and Mark Holz, who all flew in for the event.  Other NSC alumni in attendance included Tom Adler and Mike Cohen, as well as Julie and Marty Schack - parents of 2010 CITs Jordan and Jonathan.

On Saturday we kicked off the Reunion tour with our St. Louis reunion at the Weiser's. This was the worldwide premier of Joe Riccitelli's 2010 Reunion Video, and it was clear that it is going to be a hit.  Jordan Santo joined us and even gave us his commitment that he'll be returning this summer!
The Weiser's put together a great afternoon for us.

Look for us coming to a city near you!

Fall Begins for NSC

Though 70 degree temperatures are still showing up in parts of the Midwest, Fall has fallen on the Northwoods. The leaves are off the trees and covering the ground, and camp looks great.  Leb and Andy spent a couple days at camp closing up the office before heading down to St. Louis.

As Leb and Andy were getting ready to leave for St. Louis, Andy noticed that the rock that has been used as the doorstop in the office for the last three decades had some interesting writing on it.  It said "Howi Weiser 7-17-73." Howi, a North Star alumnus, was hosting the St. Louis reunion last weekend.  Andy wanted to bring the rock with, but Leb thought the picture would suffice!

On the Road with Leb and Sue

So Leb and Sue left camp early Friday morning. Their trip home would consist of a nice road trip through some of the Western United States finest sights... as well as some of other kitschy tourist attractions. They have been sending along pictures from their road trip for everyone's enjoyment.
