2018 Parent Handbook

Outside the Normal Daily Fun
Trips and Spending Money
For “special” trips off camp, campers may want to bring spending money to camp for
snacks or souvenirs. The Main Office will be happy to hold their money prior to these
trips. Spending money is, of course, optional and at the parent’s discretion.
Spending money can be held by the Main Office or by the camper, but cannot be held by
the staff members for campers. Any money not kept in the office is solely the camper’s
responsibility and camp takes no responsibility for such money kept in cabins by campers.
Campers who choose to keep trip money in the office will get their money prior to
departing for an off-camp trip. When they return to camp, any remaining money can be
brought back to the office.
Keep in mind that some trips happen before Visiting Day and some happen after, so you
may want to send an initial amount and re-evaluate on Visiting Day. Below are suggested
amounts to cover trips for the entire summer. We also recommend having a conversation
with your child about budgeting money over several trips.
