Welcome to CAMP BELINDER: AN AUCTION ADVENTURE AWAITS! It’s going to be an incredible night of auction excitement, prizes, drinks, and dancing! Don’t miss the party of the year! Proceeds directly support ongoing STEAM education at Belinder, a reading specialist, teacher grants, field trips, other resources for teachers and students, and more!

Two quick notes, and then some answers to FAQs.

TICKETS

We’ve continued to streamline this year with an option to purchase in advance your tickets to the live Camp Belinder auction event, drink tickets, golden tickets (for a trip to Mexico!), and candid kid pics. You can buy these now!

AUCTION ITEMS

A small number of auction items will be available in-person only, live at the event. Details to follow. Remaining auction items (as well as Progressive Dinner tickets, Parent and Grade-Level Kid Party tickets, and Teacher Takeover and Teacher Treasure bidding) will be auctioned virtually. The virtual auction will go live at 6pm on Thursday, March 5th and close at 5pm on Sunday, March 8th. Make sure you’re registered on this site before the event.

More info below! We can't wait to see you at Camp Belinder!

Your counselors,

Amy, Elizabeth & Tony

FAQs

TIMING

Saturday, March 7, 2026. Doors open at 7, party till 11:30.

TICKETS

We’ve made it easier this year! Buy tickets — and extras like drink tickets, golden tickets, teacher-sponsorships, and candid-kid pics — all in one go. Purchase on this site!

DO I NEED A TABLE AT THE AUCTION?

Nope — think “campfire hangout,” and camp games! Everything’s casual, social, and table‑free.

LIVE AND VIRTUAL AUCTION

Can’t be there in person? No problem — our virtual auction has you covered. Only a few high-value items will go under the live hammer.

HELP GIVE BACK

This year we're skipping class-baskets. Instead, browse our Amazon Wish List or sign up to donate non-Amazon items. Every bit helps! Our auction would not be possible without donations from our school community. Check out the following links!

HOW DOES BIDDING WORK?

Register to bid on this site. That’s how you bid for silent-auction items, socials, teacher takeovers, and more. Live paddles will be handed out at check-in. Virtual bidding opens at 6pm on Thursday, March 5th and closes at 5pm on Sunday, March 8th. Live auction starts at 8:30 p.m. on Saturday, March 7th.

WHAT DO I WEAR?

Get ready for camp! Wear whatever feels like “summer camp” to you—outdoorsy, relaxed, and fun. Anything goes! You may even get the best costume award!

TRANSPORTATION

Parking is limited — we have valet service. Carpool if you can, or hitch a ride via Uber/Lyft.

WILL FOOD AND DRINKS BE PROVIDED?

We’ll keep things snacky, and yes, several bars will be open all night. Save time (and money) by buying drink tickets ahead of time. Drink sales are cashless — plan to pay by card. We strongly encourage you to eat dinner prior to the event, but don’t be late and miss the fun!

CANDID KID PICTURES

Back by popular demand! Buy your kid pics in advance — only pre-paid photos will be taken. Delivered to classrooms later in spring.

GOLDEN TICKET--WIN A TRIP TO MEXICO!

1 in 100 chance to win a 4-night stay in a 2-bedroom, 2-bath resort at a 4-diamond luxury resort. Choose from 6 gorgeous destinations: Mayan Riviera, Acapulco, Puerto Vallarta, Nuevo Nayarit, or Puerto Peñasco. $75 per ticket, only 100 sold. Winner drawn during the live auction — you don’t even need to be present to win. Tickets can be purchased on this site right now!

ANY SPECIAL ACTIVITIES?

Think camp fun, minus mosquitoes and mandatory hiking. DJ Kirby will also be there-bring your dancing shoes!

CAN I BRING MY KIDS?

No, this is an adults only event.
