A Look at the First Half of 2013

Star Island Softball 2013

Summer on Star Island is about half way over, and we have had a blast so far. Program guests and overnight retreaters have enjoyed their time on Star Island with a great variety of activities, workshops and other bouts of merriment. Starting with the Yearly Adults Conference hosting workshops on making bitters, bread, and fermentation to this week’s All Star 2 Family Conference focusing on the theme of human connections and the World Wide Web, Star Island is bustling with activity.

Other highlights of the summer include:
