Cabin Fever Strikes Vashon!

The Vashon Maury Cooperative Preschool (The Co-op) invites islanders to join the fun Cabin Fever, a summer camp themed fundraising auction, on April 21st at 6pm at Camp Sealth. The Co-op’s popular auction raises nearly 40% of the school’s budget, enabling the island institution to keep tuition affordable and offer scholarships to families in need.

The Co-op auction, now in it’s 13th year, is always a popular event and is known as "The Party Of The Year" to many a Co-op alum. This year the fun will be had overlooking the Sound at the beautiful Round Hall at Camp Sealth. Guests will enjoy goodies from the Mess Hall, including such camp staples as corn dogs, tater tots and s’mores. And unlike camp days of our youth, this camp will offer Cliff’s beer, wine and cocktails.

Camp will begin, as so many camp experiences do, with a bus ride! Guests can catch the Cabin Fever bus at the Park & Ride on Vashon Highway, next to The Country Store where the fun will begin! Once at Camp Sealth, Kevin Joyce as auctioneer and Craig Sutherland as emcee, will serve as Camp Counselors, leading guests through an exciting evening and a fabulous shopping experience. Naturally, the evening will conclude with an old-fashioned campfire sing-a-long, accompanied by Kevin Joyce and Tony Liebo on his magic banjo.

The Co-op is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization and has been part of the Vashon community since 1970 and over the years thousands of families have benefited from the Co-op’s unique approach of educating both children and parents. Islanders can show their support for the Co-op while having a great time and taking home some terrific auction items, including a fabulous scuba trip to Roatan, an adventure vacation at The Flying B Ranch, a farm dinner for 14 at The Jesus Barn Farm featuring a fabulous meal prepared by The Gluten Free Girl and The Chef, and so much more.

Tickets are $30 and available at The Vashon Bookshop and Brown Paper Tickets.
