Shopping at camp

 

There’s not much to buy at camp, but you may want to bring money for

• Workshops that have a fee (almost all don’t, but every once in a while one does, usually ranging from $1 to $5, to cover the cost of supplies)
• CDs, books, etc., sold by staff and other campers. (Usually a couple staff people and a couple campers bring things like their own music CDs, books or zines they wrote, etc., to sell. This is something you can do, as well, though we can't devote a lot of physical space to displaying items for sale, nor take up a lot of meeting time with announcements about such things.)
• Vitamin C (Emergen-C), etc., which we may have on hand. (Much better, though, to bring your own. You can't count on us having it.)
• Meals/snacks to eat during your trip to camp and on your way home
• Camp T-shirts (officially, you can only order them in advance, but we often have a few extras on hand)
• Necessities like toothpaste, tampons/sanitary pads, shampoo, sunscreen, etc. in case you forget yours. We may stock a few extras to re-sell, or pick up supplies in town if necessary, but try to pack everything you need.
• Sometimes we bring some unschooling T-shirts and books to sell—it just depends…
