Spending money ($50 - $100 for between meal snacks, souvenirs, other incidentals) See note below about new Cash Card for this year.
Optional: nutrition bar type snacks, gatorade powder to mix with water, reusable water bottle (apparently water in dorms doesn't taste great), cereal and disposable bowls/spoons.
Note: Everything should fit in your equipment bag and one carry on back pack. Coaches will be making nightly runs to local Reno Rite-Aid for any missing, forgotten, or "got to have it" items (gatorade, more boxes of cereal...)

Cash Card

The following information was provided by the Wolf Pack Camp. Since we haven't used this program before we're not exactly sure how it works, but it is surely something some of the guys will want to try out:

A new addition to this year's camp is the Wolf Pack Cash Card. In past years it has been difficult to make sure the campers eat enough to get them through the camp. With dinner being at 4:30 and only small snack items available in the dorms after hours many of the campers were trying to order pizzas, etc. from outside vendors for delivery after coming back from evening practice. Our solution is the Cash Card. For $20 each camper can purchase a card that they can use as cash to order pizzas and drinks to pick up after the evening practice each day. Any money not used will be refunded on the last night of camp. Pizzas will be $10 and drinks will be $1-2 based on size, and they will be available to pick-up as the campers are returning to the dorms each evening. This is an optional expense that provides an opportunity for players to get an additional meal at the best price while not asking players to keep track of cash during camp.
