The Legacy of Starr & Stan Goldberg
For more than six decades, Starr and Stan Goldberg helped shape the heart and soul of Trail’s End.
Stan, a legendary camp director — and more importantly, a legendary human being — passed away in May 2025. At that time, Starr retired after a lifetime of service. While they are no longer leading camp day to day, their values, spirit, and influence remain deeply woven into the fabric of Trail’s End.
Stan was inducted into the American Camp Association’s Legends in Camping in 2010, recognizing the extraordinary impact he had on the camp world. More importantly, he taught all of us the importance of building deep, meaningful relationships — with campers and their families, and with our staff. That commitment to connection and care continues to guide Trail’s End today.
Starr was always right by Stan’s side, supporting him every step of the way, while also serving as a strong and respected leader in her own right. Together, they formed a true partnership — a power couple who led Trail’s End with heart, integrity, and vision. They guided the camp in a non-ownership role beginning in the 1960s, and in 1986 had the good fortune of purchasing Trail’s End from the Laub family.
Their shared leadership shaped a culture rooted in family, relationships, and trust — a legacy that lives on in every camper, staff member, and family who calls Trail’s End home.
