SAP Mall – Guests, including children, can earn SAP dollars to be used in our on-site shopping mall. Ways to earn SAP dollars include consistently passing room checks, attending programming without behavioral issues, being kind to your neighbor, completing house chores, and performing good deeds. The SAP Mall has items for all ages – hygiene supplies, hair care products, phone cases, headphones, bags, some household items, board games, stuffed animals, sports equipment, books, art supplies, jewelry, makeup, Legos, dolls, and more. When families are moving out, they have the opportunity to buy other items such as paint, sand art, Play-Doh, nail polish, science experiments, and other messy options not permitted in bedrooms.

Families are given clean linens upon arrival. Guests can wash their linens in the laundry room and are provided with soap and other laundry supplies. If other linens are needed, you can request them at the Haven.
