What Campers Bring

Extra Costs
Occasionally, campers are asked to bring a few dollars to camp to use when they go on special adventures in town such as to the bagel shop, the ice cream shop or the like. For larger field trips, such as to a Somerset Patriots game, the travel and admission expenses are included with your registration fee; during these trips, campers are responsible for the cost extras such as food/lunch.
