Sugarloaf Camp Store

The Sugarloaf Camp Store will have a variety of snacks, drinks and selected Sugarloaf merchandise available for purchase during Recreation Time. Campers are not required to bring money to camp. If you would like to buy items from the Student Store during the week, you are encouraged to bring no more than $20.00 cash to camp. Items will cost $.50 to $5.00 per item and will be available only during recreation time.

Silk-Screening

A special themed silk-screen (ink to fabric) that is unique for each week will be offered to imprint on a shirt, sweatshirt, pillowcase, etc. for $1.00 per item (all money raised benefits camp scholarships!). This fun activity is a great way to commemorate your camp year. Each year the screens are different and special to your camp experience. Some Sugarloaf staff members have silk-screens dating back 30 or more years!

Please mark ALL items with camper’s name in permanent ink to prevent loss and mix-ups. If we cannot identify an item that is left behind at camp, we will donate it to charity.

Food Reminder

Food and drinks are NOT permitted in living groups under ANY circumstance.
Do NOT bring food with you in suitcases or other personal belongings. Ants and other woodland creatures are attracted to, and will go to great lengths, to get at food!
Parents, we also request that you do not send food to your camper through the mail.
Campers will receive three balanced meals per day, and healthy snacks, fruit, and water will be available to campers throughout the day. In addition, other snack food and drink items are available for purchase at the Sugarloaf Camp Store during Recreation time in the afternoon.
