A June to Remember at Stardust Sanctuary

Is it just us, or is this summer flying by?

As we take a breath and look back at June, our hearts are full. Each day at the sanctuary brought something special—tiny moments of connection, wide-eyed discovery, and the kind of joy that only summer (and a little Stardust) can bring.

We kicked off the month with Science Camp, where curious minds dove headfirst into the world of chemical reactions, creative experiments, and hands-on wonder. We’re still hearing campers talk about slime, fizz, and the thrill of discovery! Then came Veterinary Camp, where young animal lovers became caretakers, learning how to check vital signs, wrap hooves, and offer comfort and care to our animal friends.

Mid-month, we stepped into the land of imagination with our Fairy Garden Party, where wings were worn proudly, tiny homes were built for magical creatures, and the sanctuary shimmered with enchantment. And of course, our Dragon Party roared to life with epic stories, scavenger hunts, and a celebration of courage and creativity.

Our Once Upon a Barn class brought stories to life in the most unexpected places—inside the chicken coop, alongside the pasture, and curled up under the oak trees. Meanwhile, Barnyard Buddies gave our youngest guests a chance to connect with the animals in the most tender and joyful ways.

Throughout it all, families stopped by to lend a hand at feeding time, brush a pony, share a quiet moment with a donkey, or simply soak in the sanctuary’s special kind of peace. It’s in these everyday moments—muddy boots, shared giggles, gentle hugs—that the real magic of Stardust shines.

As we head into July, we’re carrying the warmth of June with us. We’re grateful for every camper, every family, and every soul that found a spark of connection here this past month.

Thank you for being part of our story.

With Stardust and Sunshine,
