Star Island is one of the rocky, wind-swept Isles of Shoals, located off the coast of Rye, New Hampshire. For over 100 years, summers here have provided individuals and families with a welcome respite from their busy mainland lives. Star Island Corporation is a nonprofit organization which maintains the island and its facilities and provides hospitality services for visitors.

“Come Again in 2010“

Pelicans are a rare breed (at least the Star Island version) and many haven’t been back to the island in years. Make 2010 the year you come back again to reconnect with your “Spirit’s Home”. Challenge yourself to find everyone from one of your crews from one of the years you worked on Star Island and have a crew reunion in the midst of the larger gathering. Bring your family and friends to experience a weekend on the island that is a part of your personal history. Black knights and white knights will join together in solidarity and create a fun, restful and restorative, and memorable weekend. We left chanting “we will come back again”…make 2010 the year that you do.

We also have a wonderful new opportunity to offer! This year you can arrive on Friday for a whole extra day on island (see full rates below).
