"We've discovered that many of our customers' service businesses would also benefit from offering digital image management and printing services," stated Jerry Barber, CEO and president of PhotoAccess.

CampPrints.com can offer camps an additional source of revenue through the sale of photos and merchandise. As a reseller for PhotoAccess, KidsCamps.com will act as the liaison for online digital photo services between PhotoAccess and interested camps, and camp related programs and businesses. Through CampPrints.com, KidsCamps.com will offer to camps the ability to add to a Web site, branded content for online digital photo storage and management, print and merchandise ordering, and delivery services - all provided through PhotoAccess' back-end infrastructure and technology solutions.
