Laundry: The dorm has laundry facilities,but it's best if you just bring enough clothing for the week.  

Personal spending: We plan to keep campers busy making music most of the time, but cabin fever
does happen, and we will most likely let campers go for (supervised) recreation, outings, and exploration.  
Bring pocket money for souvenirs, post cards home, sodas at the movies, emergencies at the ice-cream
stand, etc.
