The walk ways fill with attendees sporting dreads and paisley printed harem pants as the faint sounds of gypsy belts jingle throughout the festival. Scampers are free to explore and make their way through the grounds discovering that each and every festie goer has something to offer the making of this great fest.
Vendors set up shop with all sorts of gear imaginable such as hats, shirts, booty shorts, hoodies and along with a defining wave of geometric art. The most amazing part about these vendors is that they are all small ran businesses that were born from the creators of their art itself.

Other than music, Summer Camp will also be holding kid friendly activities, nonprofit outreach, art shows, greening and humanities education, musician workshops, and friendly competitions of field day activities.
