Camp Trade will make Winston-Salem shoppers happy campers this July

You don’t need to pitch a tent to take part in the fun.

Participating businesses will also serve snacks.

Summer camp isn’t just for kids — at least, not in Winston-Salem’s Arts District. Camp Trade is geared toward adults. It’s happening rain or shine over three weekends July 13-28.

Campers (that’s you) can shop, socialize, and support small businesses. These seven spots on Trade Street are your “camp counselors":

  • Kin & Cottage
  • Major Tomms
  • CasaShanti
  • DOSE Artist Collective
  • Happy Hour Vintage
  • Off the Rack
  • Eyes on Trade

When you make a purchase or do activities at each location, you’ll earn a merit badge. Earn one from all seven, and you’ll get a Community Supporter badge. Flash that to earn special discounts at the businesses — some will honor it through the rest of the year.

To keep up your energy, stop by the Canteen aka Silver Moon Saloon. You can buy a Bug Juice and snack on camp fare like Sloppy Joes.

Peak hours are 12 p.m. to 6 p.m. on Saturdays and 12 p.m. to 5 p.m. on Sundays. Keep up with camp announcements on Instagram.
