Trading Post Credits for Camp
Send her off to camp with pre-purchased credits to use at the Trading Post!
BUY CREDITSThe Trading Post is open on check-in and check-out days, as well as one day during the week for campers to shop. She can shop for items like t-shirts and other camp apparel, water bottles, stuffed animals, and other fun camp necessities. Once camp is over, she can donate any remaining balance to help support GSGI camps, or save the credits for next summer!
To ensure that your camper has access to their credits at the start of their camp session, we recommend purchasing credits at least one week prior to her first camp session start date.
Trading Post Credits are nonrefundable and are not transferrable, and can only be used at the Trading Post locations at Camp Sacajawea and Camp Tanglefoot.
