Food and supplies
We have a small grocery store on site called the Provianten. Here you can buy a selection of daily groceries at a reasonable price. Every evening fresh groceries are ordered from our local supermarket (i.e. fruit, vegetables, meat and bread.)
When you arrive at the centre, your unit will be given a credit card that you can use in Provianten. On the credit card is written the account number of your unit. When you shop at Provianten, you must always show the credit card and sign for the amount. The amount will be written on the invoice and after the camp your invoice will be forwarded to the contact person of the unit. It is, of course, also possible to pay cash, check or VISA at Provianten. If you use your credit card, you will receive a statement of account during the week.
