PRESALE AND DONATIONS! JULY 2ND, 2012
Camp Kind 2012 is getting closer by the second! We've got a lot of great things in store for you this year. More vendors, more performers, and more great vibes!

Camp Kind's main goal is to raise support for our annual charity. This year, we are helping Feed'Em Soup. We are asking that every attendee bring canned goods and/or clothing to help those in need. Of course monetary donations are helpful as well. Please see the section at the bottom of this page for more information!

We also would like to remind everyone that Camp Kind is a small, intimate venue, and we will sell out quickly. In order to secure a spot, we urge everyone to buy a presale ticket for only $20. Presale will end at midnight, August 4th. The price at the door will be $25, space permitting.

We cannot wait to see all of your smiling faces this year!!!
