Volunteer Work & Play Weeks/Weekends
Since Starland is fully supported by members and the community, we rely on everyone’s help to maintain and improve our beautiful property. We have a long project to-do list so throughout the year we get together to knock them off the list as well as have a lot of fun!
Private Events
We have a diverse group of organizations who often reserve Starland for their own group members. Starland’s mission is to BUILD COMMUNITY, not necessarily to “Make Money”. So our rental rates are VERY affordable. Ask us about renting out the entire facility for YOUR group by emailing starlandretreat@gmail.com.
