Camp STAR is a full-week getaway that provides campers, age 8 through 18, with an opportunity to enjoy the beautiful surroundings of YMCA Camp Kon-O-Kwee/Spencer Campground (near Zelienople, Pennsylvania).
Since 1976, Camp STAR has been committed to empowering and supporting youth amputees to keep healthy confident and stay active. Camp STAR Campers are encouraged to make new friends, to help one another and share their experiences. We provide an environment where our campers feel free and comfortable to participate in sports, games, and various other activities without fear of embarrassment or criticism. We motivate our campers to challenge themselves and try new things. Part of our mission is to also facilitate an environment where our campers can develop long lasting friendships with one another and their counselors to create a community of positive support and encouragement.
