A barrier-free wilderness campground near Summerland that welcomes children and families with diverse abilities is sharing the recent success of its second annual Light Up the Camp event.

The event took place at Lightning Rock Winery, paired with Summerland Smoke Shack’s pulled pork and brisket buffet. Dessert was baked by Giants Head Kitchen and everything it total raised $6,700.

Proceeds of the Light Up the Camp event are to be used to develop a fire mitigation system at Agur Lake Camp, a current priority for the Society as they work to protect the camp for many years to come.

"The Agur Lake Camp Society would like to thank Lightning Rock Winery, Summerland Credit Union (event sponsor), Summerland Smoke Shack, Moving Lines, Giants Head Kitchen, Top Cat Tours, and many volunteers for their time and all around support of the event," they shared in a press release.

"Additionally, Agur Lake Camp would like to thank Summerland Sweets, Melt Mineral Spa, Penticton Ramada, Summerland Credit Union, Jim Ongena and Summerland Golf & Country Club for their generous donations towards the live auction items sold at the event."
