We’re looking for meaningful and creative auction donations that reflect the heart and history of Birch Rock.

| Vintage camp treasures like signs, paddles, maps, or artwork |
| Classic BRC t-shirts, blankets, or memorabilia |

Every contribution—big or small—helps us celebrate 100 years of community, simplicity, and generosity.
