North Star Camp for Boys
Winter 2012 - 2013
I
t’s time once again for our yearly Alumni News to go
online. Thanks to everyone who contributed by sending
us their news or news of a friend, a memory, or a small
world story about
camp. The response
was great and I look
forward to passing
on all the news to
you.
Our promise is to always strive for journalistic excellence
and of late we had to do a little fact checking when one
piece of news sent in didn’t pass the litmus test. We were
led to believe that alumnus ANDREW PERLMUTTER
had dropped out of society and started a goat farm in
Arkansas. This was according to one of his friends BEN
SHER. I was quite excited about the news due to my love
of all things pastoral. Leb, however, smelled a rat. Turns
out, Ben was trying to use our well respected newspaper for
his own chicanery, stating it would increase our readership.
There is no problem with our readership. Be forewarned
my antennae are up and certain individuals are on my radar.
My once trusting nature is now on alert for those wanting to
exploit my gullibility. The good news is that we averted a
takeover of The Siren when Ben threatened to start his own
Dr. Smacks column. Better yet the new Editor in Chief
ANDY SHLENSKY has a degree in journalism from
Northwestern University and he can smell a rat better than
Leb. Truth be told he takes advantage of my gullibility as
well.

A Note from Andy
s 2012 draws to a close, I want to throw in a big keylog to the
entire North Star community. A little over a year ago, Vickie and
I were honored to become the third owners and directors of North
Star, and it has been an amazing year for us and for camp. The Great
and Glorious North Star Party remains as strong as ever, and the
love and support that the alumni have shown us over the past year
has been overwhelming. And it was that way right from the start.
While I was driving home to Chicago from Wisconsin Rapids, where
I had met Leb and Sue to sign the papers and make the transition
official, I received a phone call from alumni Andy Krotinger. He had
been at camp in the 50s, and it had been a long time since he had last
connected with NSC. He first wanted to check to make sure that so
many of his favorite traditions remained: Pow Wow Day, Wanegan,
Friday Night Services and more. Sure enough, little had changed.
From there, he told me what a large role his experience at camp
had played in his life. His time at camp had inspired a love for the
Continued on page 2
So on that note the big news is not only does North Star have
a new editor and chief we have new owners and Directors.
Bully for them! In Andy’s mind he has been applying for
this job since he was in the junior village and thinking he
would like to own the place one day. He stayed on that path
North Star Alumni Photo Archives
e've taken the time to scan all of our old camp photos and we're now in the process of putting them online for you to enjoy.
Over the course of the last few months, we've been adding albums to the North Star Facebook page and we'll add more over
the coming weeks. You can find the archives by going to www.facebook.com/northstarcampforboys and clicking on the photos

year that a picture was taken, please add that to the comments section. Also, if you know anyone in any of the pictures, either list
their names in the comments section or tag the individual(s).

confidence in to continue our mission. Vickie, Andy’s
wife and soon to be mother of their first child is an OB/
GYN resident at Lutheran General Hospital in Park Ridge,
IL. Vickie will be at camp full time when she finishes her
residency. There is no doubt that she will be a huge asset
to camp. She currently spends time at camp when she is in
between rotations.
Leb and I felt a huge responsibility to put North Star
into the hands of someone that could ensure that future
campers could have the same experience that their fathers,
grandfathers, uncles had at camp. We also wanted to make
this transition while we were still of strong body and mind
and could sit back and watch the fruits of our labor. It was
wonderful being at camp this summer and to see the place
run without a hitch. Andy surrounded himself with strong
leadership and a phenomenal staff.
DAN LICHTENSTEIN, a 28 year veteran is our assistant
director. A better systems person would be hard to find.
Andy is reinvesting in North Star’s future with building
and site projects. Most important is that Andy understands
the North Star philosophy and will keep the cornerstone
beliefs that we have been known for. His passion for camp
and the community that he is responsible for is admirable.
People have asked us if it was hard to hand over the reins
One very neat moment this past summer came on Pow Wow
Day. Leb was able to uncover the same script that he and Lou
Rosenblum had used for the opening ceremonies of that Pow Wow
Day when Leb became “Chief.” Leb on horseback led the four tribes
down Villa Road to the infield of Lou’s Diamond, where he passed
me the headdress and the peace pipe. I certainly don’t have the
expertise on horseback that Leb does as a former horseback
riding instructor, but I managed to stay aboard. Aside from that
ceremonial moment, the summer of 2012 was filled with energy,
creativity and friendship. We had a great group of campers
from 22 different states and five countries, and a tremendous
staff to make the summer great. One of the moments where
the passion of this group really came through was in the camp
musical, which has taken on a life of its own. This year’s musical
was entitled “Harry Potter and the Camp Deed,” which used the
Harry Potter characters at North Star with original lyrics set to
Motown music. The hit song was called “I’m Coming Back,” to the
tune of “I Want You Back” by the Jackson Five. The production
featured great acting, singing and even tap-dancing. It was just
another great example that North Star provides so many boys
with the opportunity to be themselves, to be carefree, and to be
in a place where everyone brings something special to the table.
And 2013 is already shaping up to be a great year! Camp is almost
full and we already have a ton of great staff members committed
to return to the Northwoods. This will be a special year for
Vickie and I as well, as we are less than a month away from the
arrival of our first child. This little girl has no idea what she is
in for growing up at North Star! As we prepare for her arrival,
we are so thankful for the support of the North Star community,
and we feel so lucky that she will be part of North Star Family!

One other improvement since our last alumni newsletter
involved the replacement of the junior village washhouse
septic system. Normally, improvements to camp septic
would not rate as newsworthy, however this septic system
was infamous for the mysterious black pipe. Many a North
Star camper will remember being warned not to jump on
the black pipe near the steps to cabin I6. The new system
meant two improvements. First, the pipe is gone. Secondly,

left that a local farmer showed up to camp with some
heavy machinery to begin the first step of our athletic field
projects. Step one was to completely tear up the top level
of ground, tearing apart and tilling the turf. What followed
was a crew of specialists who first leveled off the fields,
moving soil from high points to low points, removing hills
and widening the playing surfaces. An irrigation system was
then installed, drawing water from the lake and sending it
to a new sprinkler system throughout the athletic fields and
the hill in front of the office. Finally, special athletic grass
seed was laid, and not more than two weeks from the start
of the project, new grass was growing. You can check out

Our head caretaker TOM BROKAW and his brother-in-law
Art have been working hard to convert and upgrade some
of the staff housing at camp. Above our maintenance shop
was one main staff living area. Tom and Art partitioned off
the area, building separate rooms and adding an additional
bathroom. This will give us some more flexibility for staff
housing and the opportunity to add living space for some
more out-of-cabin staff. Tom also spent some time redoing
the shed that we affectionately call the 382 shed. This was

n October many of us gathered at a Camp Blodgett on the shores of Lake Michigan for the wedding of Mike Swiryn and Robin
Imost
Bravender. Since Mike is the grandson of Lou and Renee, it made perfect sense for the wedding to be held at a camp and with
of Robin’s family from nearby Grand Rapids, the setting was perfect. The ceremony was held on a deck just feet from the
lake and the reception was in the camp’s main lodge. There was a large camp contingent in place. In attendance were Leb, Sue,
Andy and Vickie, AJ Bayard (and girlfriend Rachel), Mike Blumberg (and wife Sara), Josh Frost (and fiancée Jess), Brian Glickman
(and girlfriend Erica), Ari Goldberg, Aaron Hamer (and wife Lauren) Dan Lichtenstein, Wes Molyneaux (and wife Ashley), Robby
Rutkoff (and fiancée Becca), Jacob Segil (and
wife Carrie), Jack Silverstein, Mandy Stanek
(and fiancée Scott), Steve and Linda Rosenblum,
and Jon Weiss.
With such a large camp contingent, about 20
people from the camp crew put their resources
together and decided to rent a home. The
wedding was in prime Michigan vacationland
and Aaron Hamer was able to find a home for
rent that had room for everyone. With seven
bedrooms, an elevator, a hot tub, two large
living rooms and a picturesque view of Lake
Michigan, the accommodations were a bit of an
upgrade over camp quarters.
