Canteen Account

In addition to the tuition fees, there is a required, non-refundable Canteen deposit by age as follows:

• 8 week CITs deposit — $200;
• 4 week CITs deposit — $125;
• 8 week - 14 and 15 years old (Going into grades 9 to 10) deposit — $175;
• 4 week - 14 and 15 years old (Going into grades 9 to 10) deposit — $100;
• 8 week - 8 to 13 years old (Going into grades 2 to 8) deposit — $125;
• 4 week - 8 to 13 years old (Going into grades 2 to 8) deposit — $75.

Canteen covers all extra batteries, toiletries, including shampoo, conditioner, suntan lotion, flashlights and all Hydration Station purchases. Canteen covers all town trips, including Oneida paintball, 4th of July, bike trips, excursion days, bowling – any time your son leaves camp, and anytime he needs something he runs out of. The older campers tend to leave camp more often than the younger campers which is why the Canteen Account charges increase with the age of your son.

Canteen is done in this manner so that all camp charges/expenses are known ahead of time. We are not adding up numerous small charges throughout the summer and then sending an additional bill at the end of the summer.

You do not need to send bottles of water, Gatorade, Powerade or the like as the Hydration Station is open twice each day and the beverages are covered by your Canteen Account.

You do not need to send your son to camp with any money, unless your son is a CIT or Group 1 (entering 10th grade). CITs and Group 1 campers go on several town trips and special events, and may want some extra money for personal purchases. No more than $100 for the summer is recommended. All money will be turned into the office at the start of camp, and campers will have access to their money as needed.

Canteen Account does NOT cover: CIT sailing trip, prescription medication, birthday pizza parties (or other special occasions), or purchases of camp apparel from the Camp Store. We contact the parents for approval prior to charging for any of these items.
