Camp Fire Illinois Prairie Spring Gala and Live Auction
April 12 @ 6:30 pm - 10:30 pm
$85.00This is an annual fundraising gala for our non-profit Camp Fire USA Camp Kata Kani located in Bolingbrook adjacent to Hidden Oaks Nature Center and Trout Farm Park. We receive the majority of our funding from this event which is used to operate our summer day camp and all the programs we offer the children we mentor throughout the season at the camp. These activities include camping, archery, learning about insects and plant life, conservation as well as the many trails that include an exercise trail. Many of the children we mentor are surprisingly exposed to these activities for the first time. In addition we offer many family oriented weekend activities and festivals throughout the year including animal adoptions and many craft making projects and outdoor educational events.
We are 100% funded by donations and revenues received through events such as this one. Without this funding our camp would struggle to survive which makes this gala of the utmost importance to our camp.
The gala will include dinner and drinks, live music as well as a silent and live auction of products and services donated by our local businesses and community.
