A New Camp Format for 2026

We've been listening to our camper feedback for years now and have decided to do camp a little differently this time around. This year, there will be no scheduled classes. Instead, we will be hosting optional workshops and craft tables that you can opt into whenever you want. We will still have guest instructors and evening entertainment, just with a less structured format overall. We hope our campers will enjoy the flexibility to explore Vernonia Springs and it's surrounding areas alongside community building activies and, of course, plenty of knitting/crocheting/spinning time.

Tiny Deer Studio Charm Party!

Tiny Deer Studio will provide a ton of acrylic charms that she designed and cut in her Portland studio, along with various jewelry findings and tools, to allow you to make your own: 

  • Hook Earrings
  • Stud Earrings
  • Bag Charms/Keychains
  • Necklaces
  • Zipper Pulls
  • Suncatchers (larger charms!)

With Jessica's guidance, you can make whatever you want during camp! 

All About Camp Starlight

Important Accommodation Information

Camp starlight is a rustic retreat with many campers staying in tents on site. You must bring your own tent and it must be waterproof. Weather can be hard to predict this time of year. We’ve had extremely rainy camps and warm, gloriously sunny ones! Please keep this in mind when choosing to attend camp and plan accordingly.

Please note: Camp terrain consists of gravel driveways and bark-dust paths. Restrooms are down a slight gravel driveway and camping requires load in and parking a good distance from your campsite. If you are uncomfortable camping, this may not be the retreat for you.

There are 2 lovely ADA showers and bathrooms onsite for everyone to use, plus 2 more outdoor showers in the upper garden area.

5 yurts and 5 side-wall tents are also available at registration on a first come, first served basis. If you are planning to share a yurt or side wall tent, only one person in your party needs to register for one. Others in your party need only sign up for a tent site and then notate on the registration form that they are sharing a yurt or side wall tent.  Please visit the Vernonia Springs gallery for photos of yurt and sidewall layouts.

If you’d like to bring an RV, trailer, or camper, sign up for a tent space. Important note: there are no services or hookups, and you will be walking a couple hundred yards to the main camp area.

You must provide your own transportation to and from the site. Vernonia Springs is about 45 minutes -1 hour from Portland by car. Send us an email after you’ve registered if you are interested in finding a carpool.

Campout Menu - The menu has not yet been determined. If you have dietary restrictions or requests, please note on your registration.
