Spending Money:
There are times throughout the week that the camp has a Snack Shack with various snacks and goodies, as well as a Book Store with toys, stickers, apparel, and more. Though this is not required, it is suggested to provide $20-$80 in spending money for the week for your camper to enjoy these options. To avoid lost or stolen cash, we have made an account available through the registration process. This keeps the funds secure, and available to them at the various locations. Remaining funds will be returned to the parent or guardian at the end of the week. **
Lost and Found:
Mark all belongings with camper's name. Lost and found items will be donated after two weeks if not requested. Claimed items will be mailed or be made available for pick-up.

**Funds secured using the Camper Bank are protected from risk of loss and theft. Gitche Gumee Bible Camp is not responsible for lost or stolen funds if you choose not to take advantage of the Camper Bank.
