monkeynautt you know i paid for camp with my own money. It doesn't take long to make tuition when you don't hardly spend anything!! like everyone else's parents paid but one girl had a scholarship.

It takes longer for me because of the dollar exchange. Even when I don't buy things!!

You'll get more money for less!! It depends on where you go as to how expensive it is. What province are you going to?

I guess i was pretty lucky although that last time i not only had to pay for half of the camp cost but i also had to pay transportation. Luckily i had a job. Heck the week i took off i even got paid since i took a paid vacation and plus got holiday pay for the 4th of July even though i wasnt their.

Niagara Falls is in Ontario. You'll have to pay GST as well as PST. I think PST in Ontario is 6% but it could be as high as 11%. I live in Alberta. It's the cheapest province to live in cause we have no PST!!! :D

The less money you have to spend for camp the more you will have to spend at camp.

I've been wanting to get one of those jackets for years but only saw them back in 1991 when i was at camp After that they seemed to dissapear. When did you see them? if they have them back i might order me one.
