Students who helped with Advent candle sales or Mardi Gras already have credit toward the cost. A letter is provided for students to send to grandparents, godparents, aunts/uncles, and parish friends. Additional fundraiser opportunities are available in May and June.

Deposits are non-refundable but transferable if the student finds a replacement. The parish places the deposit to camp on the student's behalf.
