It’s Camp Starlight time! August 29 – September 3rd, 2010

If you've ever gone to summer camp, you know it's an experience you never forget - a time to learn and explore, make new friends and have new adventures. Camp Starlight offers all of these, and more, because our campers are a very special group. They are infected or affected by HIV/AIDS. That’s a heavy burden to place on any child. But at Camp Starlight they are supported, loved and accepted.

• Where: Lucky Labrador Brew Pub, 915 SE Hawthorne Boulevard, Portland, Oregon 97214
