Camping families?

Any family types out there into camping and looking for a chance to get some new gear? As part of the promo activities for the Aquarium‘s new Camp Carolina exhibit (opening soon), they’re having a great camping gear giveaway contest. Sadly since I’m an Aquarium volunteer I can’t enter, but you can (as long as you don’t work there or are related to someone who works there)!
