We calculate camper spending accounts based upon the number of weeks your child will be at camp. The fee is all-inclusive, and covers most camper needs for the season. There will be NO additional charges, statements of money spent, or refunds from this fee at the end of the summer. The amounts for each session are as follows:
4-Week Campers = $150.00
6-Week Campers = $200.00
8-Week Campers = $250.00
(These fees have been added to your bill.)
The money in your camper's spending account will cover items needed from the general store and all field trip expenses. Your camper will be taken on three to five special field trips, depending upon his/her age. Trip destinations range from state parks and local amusement parks, to local beaches, sights and towns along the beautiful Maine Coast. These trips are activities that add variety to the regular camp schedule.
Camper's spending accounts will cover costs for: attraction admissions and transportation costs. Additionally, each camper will be given $10.00 to spend on souvenirs.
"Third Party Expenses"
Some campers may discover the need for extra items not planned for in advance and thus not included by Camper Spending Accounts. We refer to these items as 'third-party' expenses. They may include eyeglass repair, tennis racquet stringing, sneakers, UPS charges, etc. When these expenses are incurred, we will bill your VISA or MasterCard account.
Extra CA$H
As noted, we will allocate $10.00 per trip per day from the Camper Spending Accounts. However, we understand that some parents also like to send extra money with their child. If you elect this option, we
recommend that you follow the general guidelines listed below:
4-Week Campers - $ 50.00
6-Week Campers - $ 75.00
8-Week Campers - $100.00
You can send money to your child in the form of cash or a check made payable to Camp Wekeela, with your child's name noted on the memo portion of the check. We are not able to charge credit cards to advance cash to campers. As a safety precaution, we urge campers to deposit money in the office safe.
Special Note: If your child is a Junior or Senior Camper who will travel on the extended Junior/Senior trips in August, you should plan on
including on extra $100.00 cash, in addition to the amount suggested above.
Special Fee Trips
Golf trips to Turner Highlands Country Club or Roy's Golf Club occur weekly. Greens fees average $25.00 per round. It is strongly
recommended campers bring their clubs to Camp. Limited rentals are available at an additional cost to the above fees. If your camper is
