Camas business owners recently announced the launch of the Explore Camas Passport, a program designed to reward consumers for shopping & dining local. The official launch date for the Summer 2024 Explore Camas passport is June 1.
This unincorporated group of business owners met in January 2024 to brainstorm ways to collaborate and promote the vast array of businesses and services throughout Downtown Camas. The Explore Camas Passport is a fun way to engage and reward the community for supporting local.
Passport holders collect stamps from participating locations through making a purchase, taking a class, or joining in on an activity. After accumulating at least 20 stamps, the passport holder is then eligible for a special discount or offer from each of those locations. Completed passports are submitted to the Camas-Washougal Chamber of Commerce by Sept. 30 to be entered into the Grand Prize Drawing valued at over $1500.
The Launch Party for the Summer Passport is Saturday (June 1). Look for Red Balloons throughout Downtown Camas identifying participating locations.
“Our group of 29 businesses have worked hard to develop this robust campaign to show our appreciation for everyone who shops and supports local small businesses. Camas has a wide variety of boutiques, restaurants, and services set in a charming atmosphere. We are excited to introduce the Explore Camas Passport program and to give consumers another fun way to experience Camas,” said Suzanne Ferguson, owner, Juxtaposition.
