regarding 'pocket money'
the way it works is your get your basic money, in your case 850, for others it will be more or less depending on age and jobs.
basically that 850 is for 9 weeks, you then get an additional $200 for every week you work after that.

however, that does not include your days off. even though its from the 22nd to the 16th, camp does not run right through, we have 3 terms, so you will have off a couple of days between each term.

i would be suprised if thats all you got. i would say it would definatly be over 1000. but hey, roy is the one you need to discuss that with.

i was just talking more general.
you get your basic, plus 200 for every week there after that you are working.

No the horseback staff at Stewart do not generally camp out. They have their own cabin in a 'no boy' zone of camp. You don't have any kids, so on a Sunday night when everyone else is expected to camp out, you's dont have to, only if ya want to.

I didn't think we needed a sleeping bag! I'll probably just buy one after I get to camp, from Walmart or something. Sleeping bags take up way too much luggage room. Can kiwis get a tee? They sound kinda dorky so I'm not sure if I want one.

Only about a month to go boys and girls!!!!! EPIC! Does anyone know why us dudes from NZ start later than everyone else? We don't kick off until the 24th.

buying one when we get over there, might actually be a better idea, it will probably be cheaper aswell.

If you all have stuff to buy for camp....sleeping bags, new trainers, cheap tshirts, toiletries....

I would definatly recommend waiting until you get to camp. Walmart is in the town and you'll prob get there within your first few days of arriving. Everything is so much cheaper!

I know I'll be buying most of my trainers and clothes out there
