Hi, could you include a little blurb about the history of this place on you website? I’ve lived in the area for over 25 years and I’ve never heard of this before. Thanks.

Hi Lisa,
Thanks for the comment! Summer Star is still in its infancy. Having only been open for a year and a half, there is not yet much history here. As such, we hope the mission statement on our home page provides some insight regarding the type of impact we hope to have.
Regards,
Summer Star

Thanks so much to Jessie Coin and others for making the Freedom Chair available! Having that extra measure of independence outdoors, in nature is invaluable.
