Snack Shack:
NEW for 2007: Merchandise will also be sold at the Snack Shack: T-shirts, shorts, ball caps etc.
What is camp without a snack to help replace all that energy our campers use up!? The Snack Shack is a big hit for those campers that need refueling. Snacks available include a variety of drinks such as soft drinks, sport drinks, bottled water and juice boxes as well as chips, candy, frozen pops, granola bars, Gogurt, cheese sticks, pudding and more! All items are priced between .50-1.50.
The best way to easy snacking for YOUR camper is to pre-pay the amount you want to have available for him/her on your registration. Just enter an amount where indicated on the form, and we will keep track of your camper's funds.
If you are paying after camp starts, just put snack shack money in an envelope with your camper’s name on it and give it to his/her counselor at the bus or at the farm.
Your camper won't have to worry about keeping track of any money, leaving them more time for FUN!! When they are ready for a snack, they can just step up to the Snack Shack where tickets will be handed out to make purchases, each ticket is worth 50 cents.
