In an effort to make Camp Starlight more equitable, we are continuing our sliding scale and scholarship option. We would like to extend this invitation specifically to BIPOC, AAPI and other marginalized people. You must apply by April - and register by April - at 5pm, after which regular registration will be open. If you are not in need, but want to help, you can donate to the scholarship fund below. Any amount helps! Thank you for your support.

Starlight strives to be a safe and inclusive space for all Queer, Trans, Fat, Black, Indigenous, Disabled, and People of Color. It is important to us that this extends to Camp Starlight. Any statements or actions against these or any other people are not welcome.

THE 7TH ANNUAL CAMP STARLIGHT WILL BE ANOTHER INCREDBLE YEAR!

Please join us in beautiful Vernonia Springs for our 6th annual Camp Starlight. We are still putting together the 2024 class line-up. Stay tuned!

Important Accommodation Information

Camp starlight is a rustic retreat with many campers staying in tents on site. You must bring your own tent and it must be waterproof. Weather can be hard to predict this time of year. We’ve had extremely rainy camps and warm, gloriously sunny ones! Please keep this in mind when choosing to attend camp and plan accordingly. If you are uncomfortable camping, this may not be the retreat for you. There are 2 lovely ADA showers and bathrooms onsite for everyone to use, plus 2 more outdoor showers. 5 yurts and 5 side-wall tents are also available at registration on a first come, first served basis. If you are planning to share a yurt or side wall tent, only one person in your party needs to register for one. Others in your party need only sign up for a tent site and then notate on the registration form that they are sharing a yurt or side wall tent.  Please visit the Vernonia Springs gallery for photos of yurt and sidewall layouts. If you’d like to bring an RV, trailer, or camper, sign up for a tent space. (There is no longer an extra fee for this.) Important note: there are no services or hookups, and you will be walking a couple hundred yards to the main camp area. There are also a limited number of tent/rv spaces for those who do not wish to participate in workshops, but would still like to camp with us. You can sign up for these when registration opens.

You must provide your own transportation to and from the site. Vernonia Springs is about 45 minutes -1 hour from Portland by car. Send us an email after you’ve registered if you are interested in finding a carpool.

Corona-Virus Considerations: Camp Starlight takes place primarily outdoors. We will not be requiring vaccines or masks at this time. We reserve the right to revise these considerations as needed. Though we won’t be requiring participants to be vaccinated, we highly encourage it.

Cancellation Policiy: Because we pay in advance to reserve services at Vernonia Springs, we cannot offer full refunds or cancellations unless someone is available to take your spot. If you must cancel, please let us know as soon as possible so we can offer your space to our waitlist. When we receive a replacement registration, we can refund your fee minus a 10% service charge. We appreciate your understanding.
