Pocket Money at Summer Camp

What about pocket money?

Campers need pocket money to buy souvenirs, postcards and to spend at the tuck shop. The tuck shop stocks souvenirs, toiletries, small selection of snacks and drinks. The shop also stocks camp uniform including t-shirts, baseball caps and a few other items.

We suggest that, as a rule, no more than £50.00 per week is needed for any miscellaneous expenses that come along, excluding optional trips. All pocket money is held in the camp bank. Overseas children may need more money for extra shopping.

What is the camp bank?

Instead of your child keeping pocket money in the dormitory or in their pocket we have a Camp Bank that will store your money for safekeeping. On arrival, all cash, passports and travel documents have to be deposited at the Camp Bank for safe keeping and a separate account is kept for each camper. Parents, please advise your children to make sure that they place their money, passports, travel documents and all valuables in the Camp Bank. The Bank is opened 5 days a week on a daily basis.

If a parent would like to deposit extra funds with us for their child's use this can be done via a credit card by calling our Camp Specialists. Please note that a £5 administration fee will be charged to deposit extra fund while your child is at camp.
