How much money should I send with my camper?
In previous years, campers have needed extra money to make purchases at the ASU Bookstore or our camp store (where we will have camp t-shirts, caps, goggles, suits, gear bags, and more), to buy snacks at evening activities or in dormitory vending machines, or to purchase other miscellaneous items like sunscreen. We will also have a photographer taking a camp photo which campers may purchase.
Resident campers may establish a camp account to use like a debit account while they are at camp. They can bring any amount of cash or a check to give to their counselor when they check in and can then use that amount to make purchases throughout their stay without having to keep track of physical money. Any amount left at the end of their session will be returned with the camper in the form of a check from the Camp.

The focus of the camp will be on teaching the most up-to-date stroke technique, starts, turns, and drills. Classroom sessions on nutrition, injury prevention, and race preparation will be offered with appearances from USA National Team members and Olympians. In addition, while campers are meeting and making new friends, they will be introduced to team cooperation and elite swimming.
