Okay, here's my problem:
I want to attend this awesome summer camp that will further enhance my game making and playing skills. My parents are being supportive, but not with their cash. I need to rais at least 1000 big ones to go , and I was wondering if you guys had any ideas.
RESTRICTIONS:
1. I'm only 14, so no real jobs.
2. NO ONE SAY SELL PORTABLES!!! I'm already having enough trouble trying to complete my SNESp and various NOAC portables people have asked me to build.

You may need others to help with this one. Make some games and sell them on this site, also at school. Since you know how to make games use your skill to make money. Also start up a course and teach people how to make games for money. Lastly talk to teachers if you can stay after school and help them clean for about 5 buck each friday or something.

Building off the golf thing, go to the driving range (bring some kind of cover), go to the far end and collect used golf balls and sell them. (maybe spray paint some cruddy looking ones and try to sell them to mini-golf places?) I've seen bags of "used golf balls" go for $5 or $10 before (new ones are really darn expensive, something like $10 or MORE for 5, so your average joe "I-bought-my-club-set-at-the-Salvation-Army-and-I'm-proud-of-it" <3's these deals)
You could collect cans. On trash day, go from door to door asking neighbors if you can take their old soda cans/bottles. (pring a wheelbarrow or a wagon with a cradboard box, or hang some trash bags off a bike and walk it) I've seen people do this before. Depending on how long you do this for per day you can make a bit of money.
Offer to do odd jobs (rake, mow lawns, shovel snow if there is any, sweep, wash cars...)
Whatever you do, the small investment into xeroxed signs or a newspaper classified ad is worth it.
