Band Camp (Buffalo Gold) Card
All residential campers will be issued a Band Camp/ Buffalo Gold Card that provides dorm access and meal credits. Parents may add additional spending money to their camper’s Buffalo Gold Card by telephone at 806-651-2080 during business hours or in person at various places around campus. After a card number is assigned, parents can call the Buffalo Gold Card office during office hours (806-651-4653) to obtain a link to add money to the card and also track activity throughout the duration of the camp. You will need to know your camper’s band camp number. Commuting campers MAY have the option of obtaining a Band Camp/Buffalo Gold Card to use for incidental expenses. Commuting campers should inquire at the time of registration.
