Friends of Berkeley Tuolumne Camp

THANK YOU!!!!
We’re so appreciative to all the campers and staff who came out to support Camp Tuolumne on May 2nd!
We were reminded once again of what makes Camp Tuolumne so extraordinary: the generations of families, friendships, and memories that connect us. Among our guests were families whose Camp legacy stretches back to 1925—an incredible 100 years—as well as brand new campers. It was a wonderful reflection of Camp’s enduring spirit and bright future.

The evening was also a meaningful opportunity to celebrate the retirement of Scott Gelfand, a lifelong supporter of Camp and dedicated Executive Director. We are deeply grateful to everyone who joined us in honoring Scott’s remarkable contributions and decades of service to the Camp community.

Thanks to the generosity of our supporters, we also raised critical funds for the Tuolumne Spirit Fund, which helps ensure that families and Counselors-in-Training who might not otherwise be able to afford Camp have the opportunity to experience all that Camp has to offer.

We are especially grateful to Hammerling Wines and Sazon Latin Kitchen for creating such an exceptional evening filled with outstanding food, wine, and hospitality.

Finally, thank you to our volunteers, sponsors, donors, and attendees. Your enthusiasm, generosity, and commitment made this a truly memorable celebration and an inspiring evening in support of Camp Tuolumne Trails.

What a beautiful night in Berkeley, supporting FOBTC! We toasted Scotty and welcomed Kent at the annual spring dinner last weekend at . We also recognized Friends of the Year, the Tuolumne Trails Team, led by Janet, Matt, Phil, and Adrian.

Thank you everyone for your hard work getting Tuolumne ready for summer! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
