Cell Phones, iPads, iPods, DVD players, Gameboys, etc
We encourage our middle school friends not to bring electronics to Camp Buckner. The drive is
only about an hour, and once we arrive at camp, electronics will be collected anyway to ensure a
distraction free week. However, if you do decide to send your teenager with any of these items,
be sure to label everything! There will be way too much entertainment and excitement in camp
for you to even think about getting bored. There are a few pay phones around camp and calling
cards in the store for purchase.

Spending Money
You will probably want money for snacks, souvenirs at the Camp Store, etc. on the trip. $50
would be plenty, but not necessary. As an idea, a tshirt is about $15, sweatshirts $25-30. Snacks
are anywhere from $1-5.
