Family Camp Budget Summary

Activities (e.g. family fun night, dodgeball): $2 per (active) participant It's highly encouraged for the family fun night planner to buy their materials in advance to be reimbursed so that General Affairs doesn't have to run around the night before.

Crafts: $1 per Twinkle/Star $2 per Moon/Sun/Comet $3 per Supernova+ This is a rough estimate, but the craft director rarely ever has to spend this much, as there are always left-over craft supplies from past years.

Education: $5 per student (for educational materials, prizes, snacks, etc.) In the past, Twinkles didn't need a budget but this will depend on the teacher.

Food: $3.80 per person per meal - includes non-food items used during meals (paper plates, napkins, etc)

Service Project: (Based on needs of the project; budget approved by Council)

General Affairs: As needed, with the understanding that General Affairs will be frugal. Some years, when the only expenses occur from resupplying camp, this cost is low. Other years, pieces of equipments break and need to be repaired or replaced. General Affairs has full discretion as long as they are good stewards.

Move-in/Move-Out: $10/person (Max 10). Move-in director can compensate volunteers with roughly $10 per person. This is generally used to treat a big group of helpers to ice cream, pizza, etc rather than cash. However, if it was a very small crew that worked particularly hard or if someone had no time to stay for the treat, we've given out cash as an extra thank-you.

Director's Discretionary Budget: $250. This money is both optional and flexible. It's generally used to help fill in for things like getting situational discounts to help get educators to camp, to pay for unusual activities or to provide more funds to a specific area that needs it. Family Fun night and Dodgeball are covered by the Activities budget and therefore don't use this money.
