Location
Starfire Tree Farm is a dream for the adventurous child. Starfire Tree Farm was once Starfire Day Camp founded in 1982 by Shirley Sallach. Shirley has over 50 years in the recreation industry and is still on site at the tree farm at all times.
When Starfire was created, the grounds were filled with wonder and excitement that still today are in every step along the way. The goal was simple, enriching the lives of the youth within the community. That goal was achieved above and beyond, reaching not only the youth, but everyone that has ever passed through. Today, Starfire is used for public and private field trips for numerous schools throughout the city and private parties of special events. Starfire Tree Farm is a recognized forest preserve and demo forest. please visit thier website for more information www.starfiretreefarm.com
