Tuolumne T-Shirt Contest
If you have always wanted to design a Camp T-Shirt, this could be your year. Berkeley Tuolumne Camp is currently accepting submissions for the 2010 Camp T-Shirts. Every year 2 designs are chosen from camper submissions, to be on the official camp T-shirts and sweatshirts, and one of them becomes the design on the apron the Dining Hall staff wears all summer long.
So, send your design ideas into the Camps Office, and yours may be chosen as one of the 2010 Tuolumne T-Shirt designs. Winners receive 2 free sweatshirts or T-Shirts with their design!
All designs are due by December 31, 2009 to be eligible for this year's contest.
