Volunteering is a great way to meet new people, engage in our activities, and share your hobbies with others.

You no longer have to wait until you are on the Island to pay your balance. You can pay any amount you'd like, anytime you'd like!

Any money you send will be deducted from your final bill. This is a good way to stretch payments over time.

Youth Program Message

We have learned over the last few seasons that remaining flexible and making adjustments to our protocols based on COVID-transmission rates and other factors is key to having a successful conference season on Star.
Here are some important notes about what to expect this season:
Vaccination: Overnight guests who are eligible to receive the COVID-19 vaccine are expected (but not required) to be vaccinated and up-to-date on boosters.
Testing: Overnight guests must be tested for COVID-19 prior to arrival. This can be either a rapid antigen (“at home”) test done within 24 hours or a PCR test done within 3 days.
Masks: All guests should pack masks for their stay on Star Island. Common sense prevails – we will be strongly recommending mask wearing if doing so is advisable.
Testing positive on island: Any person testing positive for COVID-19 on island must leave the island until an appropriate isolation period has been satisfied. This is essential in our close congregant setting, and we thank you in advance for your understanding and commitment to our Community of Care.
Other precautions: We have several other policies and procedures in place to help mitigate the risk of COVID-19 (which also help with other communicable diseases). For example, every person is required to wash and/or sanitize their hands prior to entering the dining hall, and we will continue to promote and facilitate outdoor dining, activities, and socializing whenever possible.
