Trading Post & Guzzles

Trading Post

Throughout the summer, campers will have a Trading Post account available to them at the camp store. Every day when the camp store is open, campers have the opportunity to buy camp apparel and backcountry gear. Each camper will be billed for purchases made at the Trading Post at the end of the season. You can see your camper’s account balance through our online system, CampInTouch, during the camp season.

Other charges to Trading Post accounts may include Guzzles, fishing licenses, return flight travel money, checked baggage charges, town trip money and any medical expenses/prescriptions. Additionally, you will be able to charge any purchases made on Arrival Day or Final Rodeo to your camper’s account. We require families to have a valid Credit Card on file with us. We typically send final invoices at the end of each season and can bill the Credit Card on file or a mailed check. Expect an email from Zoe with your campers Trading Post Balance at the end of the season.

Guzzles

On days your camper is at the Ranch, they are able to purchase a “Guzzle”, a snack or cold drink. There will be a one-time flat charge of $30 posted to your Trading Post account to cover their Guzzles for the summer.

Camper Limits at the Trading Post

In preparation for camp, please discuss with your camper your expectations for how/if they will spend money at the Trading Post. Additionally, if you have a specific limit for spending that you would like to set, you can email that information to zfarris@tvrcamp.org. We do not preload balances for Trading Post accounts, so you will receive these charges in an invoice after the camp season. If your camper is nearing their spending limit during the camp season, the Trading Post Coordinator will be in touch to let you know.

Town Trips

Each camper will have the opportunity to spend an afternoon in the local town of Dubois to interact with the community, shop and spend time with each other in a different setting. Trailblazer campers will alternatively spend a day in Jackson towards the end of the summer to be fitted for their Trailblazer rings.

Each camper will be given a set amount of cash ($20) for their town trip charged from their trading post account.
