A Star Party is a gathering of amateur astronomers under the stars! Many people who  attend star parties bring telescopes, but you certainly do not need one to attend the ISP. The Bruneau Dunes State Park features a public observatory that hosts a number of high quality telescopes that are for everyone's use, including an outstanding 25" Newtonian Reflector. Additionally, most amateur astronomers are happy to share their instruments!

The Idaho Star Party is an event for the entire family, with programs for all ages. Participants can chose from classes and workshops on a variety of topics.

You could simply get yourself to Bruneau State Park sometime between August 21^st and 23^rd, but you want to participate in the programs and events you must register for the ISP.
