  9. Do not bring cash to camp.  Camp Arcadia is not responsible for misplaced cash.  Campers use a spending account for all purchases. All spending money must be deposited into the campers spending account before May 15, 2012.  Additional funds may be added to their spending account at the office.
  10. Dress is casual, although Friday evening’s meal is a “candlelight” dinner and campers may wish to dress up.
