The annual benefit auction helps make the unique BBC Tier pricing possible.  It also helps to subsidize costs so that camp can remain affordable. Whether you’re in California or Vermont or somewhere between, we hope you will consider joining us for this very fun day.

  • 9 am – Fresh made donuts, coffee and breakfast (Free!)
  • 9 am – 10am – Viewing time. Stroll the tables and view the items for sale, while you reconnect and meet people that love the camp
