To protect the camp atmosphere, we ask that radios, walkmans and CD players, cell phones, TV's pocket video games, comic books, magazines, knives, matches, fire crackers and similar items be left at home. The possession or use of tobacco, alcoholic beverages and hallucinogenic drugs are not permitted and may/will result in a camper being expelled from camp.

Of note: we recommend bringing items that are not brand new or that an individual fears losing. The camp can not take responsibility for items damaged or lost during a week of camp.

* In keeping with Haluwasa's standards of dress and deportment, we ask that parents help pack with modesty in mind. Please exclude abbreviated or tight clothing, tube tops and tank tops. Please do not send irreplaceable clothing or valuables. T-shirts with questionable images or wording are cautioned.

**The Craft Shop is open every day for achievement classes and during free time. Optional free time projects are available and can be completed in one or two days.

The Snack Shop is open four evenings plus the final night of camp. Items range from $.25 to $1.75. Most items are around $.65. A three item limit per evening is standard for summer campers.

The Gift Shop is open two evenings per week plus the final night of camp. Stock includes camp souvenirs as well as general bookstore merchandise.

An optional offering is made available for campers in Frontier Village. The offering is donated to the sponsorship fund to help underprivileged children attend camp. This offering is not considered a source of revenue for the camp, but rather a teaching opportunity.

All unused money will be available for return to each camper's parents at the closing program.
