"Our daughter Padmakshi is currently in the 4th grade and as a family, it was our very first time camping! Our West Portal community jumped in of course to help us with the planning. Better yet was the opportunity to contribute to our Spring Auction AND seek the opportunity for an 'elite parents team' to assist us with the logistics. It really turned out to be a true ‘VIP experience’ at Olema Campground. The camping experience itself was an incredible chance to make connections and create lasting memories. In addition, as the auction winners, we were welcomed with specialty cocktails and another team worked on our (I must say, very complicated) tent and equipment! After a night of fun and games, we pleasantly woke up to an amazing and elaborate brunch on a beautifully set picnic table! Back from a day at the beach, dinner was a full course menu of Mediterranean food and drinks. We truly thank the auction team for all the work, logistics and thought they put into this wonderful experience! Totally worth it and more!" --Swetha and Pradeep, 2023 winners
