Whether you’re new to the Lakeview family or have been a part of it for years, we hope you will join us for an evening of celebrating, sharing, good fun, good fellowship, and coming together as a Lakeview family to support camp. The Dinner Auction is an incredible evening that includes things like:

  • Delicious catered meal and wine
  • Live and silent auction
  • Homemade desserts and a “Dessert Dash”
  • Raffle items
  • Special activities that provide camp fun for grown-ups

Each year we raise nearly $100,000 to support camp. We can’t wait to come together again this year!


Purchase Tickets

You can either purchase a single ticket for yourself or reserve a table for a group of 8.  If you reserve a table of 8 you will, of course, have complete control over who sits at your table.  But even if you purchase a single ticket you will still be able to make requests for who sits at your table.

Special Auction Item: “Raise the Roof!” – Dining Hall Roof Replacement Project

Each year we select a special auction item to “bid” on. This part of the live auction helps us raise money for a much needed camp project or area. If you aren’t attending in person, you can still help contribute to the Special Auction Item by DONATING HERE.

The current roof on the Dining Hall has been in place since the building was constructed 25 years ago. As it is nearing the end of its lifespan, it is a critical need to replace it in order to continue to protect the Dining Hall building from rain and weather. Every year multiple thousands of campers, retreat groups, and families use the Dining Hall building to eat meals, play in the game room, make crafts in the craft room, and more. This is a BIG project with a significant material cost.

At this year’s Dinner Auction, our goal is to raise $30,000 to cover material costs for this project. There are an estimated 12,000 individual shingles on the roof alone! If we raise more than $30,000 we will be able to use that money to help re-roof Quapaw and Mohegan lodges as well.

Help us “Raise the Roof” and come together to protect this important building at camp!
