camp snackbar

If you sent your kid to an overnight summer camp from a Sunday afternoon to Thursday mid-day, how much would you give them for the snack bar: chips, candy bars, soda, etc. Of course all their meals are part of the camp.

Probably around $20.

$10-20, it depends on what's the going rates for things at the snackbars these days! Enough to have a little treat each day (soda & chips or candy).

The problem I'm having is that you add $ to their snack bar account when you register online, but I don't know how much any of the stuff is. If everything is super inflated, which I doubt, but not impossible, and a soda or candy bar is $3, that would be lame. I sent an email to the camp, but I haven't heard back from them yet.

Oh that's super weird... do you get the money back that he doesn't spend?

Digging deep into the website, it looks like anything over $5 will be refunded via check and if you pay by credit card, they will refund the card.  I think.  This makes me feel better.  I'm pretty sure he's going to be much too busy to play to worry about the snack bar, but I want him to have the $ there if he so chooses.  I remember when I was at camp, the snack bar was my favorite!  We got like $5 for the whole week, but that was almost 30 years ago.

Oh yeah, and this was on the website: Your child needs to change their clothes (including socks and underwear) every day. They must shower at
least once every other day while they are here.

HAHAHA! Yeah, Tman..change those stanky unners!

In this case I'd probably just do like $30.
