An evening of community, generosity and Impact
Every summer, friends of Camp Knutson gather for an evening of good food, great company, and shared purpose. This year's Oktoberfest-inspired Night Under the Stars features a social hour, dinner, inspiring program, and both silent and live auctions — all in support of the campers and families who depend on Camp Knutson.
WHY IT Matters
Because of supporters like you, people facing serious medical challenges and difficult circumstances get to experience something powerful: belonging, friendship and the knowledge that they are not alone. Camp changes lives - and this is one of the many moments that make it possible.

What Your Impact means
Camp Knutson has been a place of healing, friendship, and growth for decades, partnering with organizations to serve youth and adults with autism, heart disease, Down syndrome, burn injuries, skin conditions, and homelessness, people who might otherwise never experience the joy of camp. Every ticket purchased, every item donated, every sponsorship makes a difference in our campers’ lives.
