THANK YOU: Camp Odyssey @ Barnes & Noble Raises Scholarship Funds


Shoppers at Barnes & Noble got a taste of Camp Odyssey on March 21 & 22 as we raised money for and awareness of the Camp Odyssey Scholarship Fund, which sends dozens of deserving children to CO each summer when they would not be able to attend otherwise.

There were games, singing-a-longs, Wacky Science, arts & crafts, and other camp favorites hosted by CO staff. Many shoppers and friends of Camp Odyssey used the CO Book Fair vouchers, helping to raise money toward CO scholarships. WMDT-TV aired a segment about the event on Friday, adding exposure for the Fund.

Special thanks to Hannah Miller and Barnes & Noble Salisbury, and to “Sloppy Joe” Hastings for rocking the event with his sing-a-long on Saturday afternoon, where kids wrote topics on index cards and Joe made up silly, zany, clever songs using the ideas.
