All: I picked up 100 camp cards at the Camp Kick off meeting. If you are interested in earning $$ toward summer camp, this is an easy way to do it. Each Camp Card sells for $10 and has coupons for $$ off an t many local retailers and restaurants. It also has a scan bar code for smart phones which enables it to be used almost anywhere in the US.
