It is important to note that this is not a music festival. It is a camp with music at its core. The highlight of the weekend will be a special Saturday night concert at the Lakeside Amphitheater. It will be an intimate and unforgettable performance under the stars, the perfect centerpiece of a weekend filled with connection, creativity, and community. There will be lots more songs to sing and share at other times throughout the weekend and you are welcome to bring your own instruments.  If you are hoping to spend your days standing in front of a big stage with a hula hoop, this is probably not your kind of weekend. But if you are looking for something smaller, more personal, and deeply musical, you are in the right place.

Your dining experience at Camp Dennen will be both delicious and memorable.  Communal dining is a key part of our experience together, just like summer camp, however the food is way better than you’ll get at summer camp.  Dinners will be enjoyed outdoors.  Friday night will be a BBQ and Saturday night will be a farm to table feast served on a long table.  We’ll have coffee and pastries in the morning before breakfast for anyone who is an early riser.  Before each dinner we’ll have a happy hour with drinks and snacks and of course there will be plenty of s’mores to go around at the campfires.  Allergies and dietary restrictions are no problem, just let us know in advance and we’ll cater to your needs.

Each night Brett will host a campfire.  The first night we’ll get into the camp spirit by singing our favorite camp sing alongs.  The second night’s campfire will be more of a group led talent show type campfire following Brett’s acoustic concert.  We highly encourage you to bring your talents and your favorite camp songs, skits or stories to the campfire.  There is nothing like looking up at the stars and singing together around a fire.

To help us stay centered, set intentions, and feel strong and relaxed in our bodies, we offer wellness activities each day.  These are a mixture of yoga, stretching, meditation, mindfulness, reflection, journaling, and sharing circles.  If this is new to you, don’t feel intimidated.  It’s for all levels and really it’s all about feeling good and feeling balanced.  There is also a fitness center on site.

Pretty much everything you can think a summer camp would have.  There’s a lake we can boat on and swim in.  There’s a pool, tennis, pickleball, volleyball, basketball, a fitness center, hiking, arts and crafts. There will also be plenty of downtime to either relax or choose whatever activity you want to do more of.  Oh also, hanging out with Brett!  He’s the camp director so he’ll be around all day each day.

There is a variety of accommodations for groups of any size.  We have communal lakeside cabins with electricity, hot water, bathrooms and showers.  We also have houses, cottages, and private rooms available.  All accommodations come with beds, linens, pillows and towels.  You can choose to share cabins or have your own private space for you and or you and your crew.  Camp Starlight is located in Starlight, Pennsylvania approximately 150 miles northwest of New York City.  It’s a peaceful and beautiful setting of 385 acres with two spring fed lakes.  There is plenty of parking on site.
