Money And The Camp Store

This information is from Summer 2025. Summer 2026 information will be posted soon!

At Camp Chrysalis and Ebert Ranch Camp, camper groups can choose to go to the camp store for an afternoon snack. Each camper is limited to two snack items, or a maximum spending limit of $3.00 per visit on food items. The camp store also sells various camp attire and memorabilia. These items may be purchased throughout the week, as well as during camper departure. The following is a sample price list.

  • T-Shirts, hats, caps and visors cost $20-$25
  • Stuffed animals cost $18
  • Carabiners, bracelets and other small items cost $5-$10

Because we are not responsible for money kept by the camper during the camp week, we ask Camp Chrysalis and Ebert Ranch campers to turn in all money upon arrival. They will then have a charge account established in their name at the camp store. Any unused funds will be returned before the close of camp in the manner indicated by the camper upon arrival. If the amount to be refunded is under $5, we will return funds in cash. Campers may also choose to donate their unused funds to our summer offering.

In order to reduce the amount of physical money our staff handle this summer, we prefer that you add money to your camper’s store account through your online Camp Brain account before they arrive at camp. We highly recommend that you do not add money to your camper’s store account after they have been dropped off at camp. Group photo and offering money can be added to the camper’s store account. Staff will ask about distribution of funds upon arrival, so if some is to go for a photo or the offering please make sure your camper is aware

To add money to your camper’s store account:

  • Log in to your online Camp Brain account
  • Click “View Details” under Summer 2025
  • Click “Add Deposit” under Camp Store in the bottom right corner

Camp Group Photo
Group photos are available for each camp week. Your camper will receive an 8×10 photo with all campers, staff, and information about the week printed on it. Photos will be matted together with a 5×7 photo of the cabin group at Chrysalis or the camper’s horse or posse group at Ebert. LYLE II and III campers will receive one for each week they are at camp for the same one-time cost. Campers who order the camp photos will receive them prior to going home. Group photos cost $15.00.

Summer Offering
Each summer Cross Trails Ministry collects an optional offering for a non-profit whose mission fits with our summer theme. Offering money may be given upon arrival at camp or on the last day at the closing worship.

This summer, our offering will go toward the 4ocean Foundation. 4ocean is an ocean cleanup organization that is dedicated to ending the ocean plastic crisis. Every dollar raised for the 4ocean Foundation removes 1 pound of trash from the ocean! 4oceanFoundation is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization. Every camper will have the opportunity to learn about the ocean plastic crisis and what they can do to get involved with making a difference.
