About The Event


Taste of Camp is an elevated culinary celebration inspired by the joy, nostalgia, and connection of summer camp—reimagined for grownups. Picture gourmet takes on campfire favorites, signature cocktails, immersive experiences, and meaningful moments—all under the stars.

All proceeds benefit Happy Trails for Kids, a nonprofit providing transformational camp programs for youth in foster care—and building a permanent home for those programs in Acton, CA.
