The evening will begin with wine tastings and walking tours of the camper spaces, followed by the ultimate farm-to-table dining experience that will feature a fresh, local fare prepared by Executive Chef Brian Scheehser of Trellis Restaurant at the Heathman Hotel, paired with fine wines.

Guests will have the opportunity to learn about the camper programs, bid on items in limited live and silent auctions, and support the Camp Korey mission during a Raise-the-Paddle segment. Guests will also enjoy entertainment provided by singer Susan Robinson.

Wheeldon danced with New York City Ballet from 1993 to 2000 and has since focused completely on choreography. He has recently been appointed to the artistic team of the Royal Ballet.
