Fun Finds For Camp Care Packages and Visiting Days

Last summer, my son went to sleep-away camp for the first time. It was a big deal for both of us – his first experience away from home and I like having him around!

While camp provides the opportunity for swimming, hiking, biking, and arts and crafts - many kids often get a little homesick.

I’ve found summer camp packages to be the perfect way to let your child know how proud you are of his or her new independence and show your tot how much you care. Care packages make mail call at camp its own little holiday. Of course, nothing is more eagerly awaited by both parents and children than visiting day!

Though camps these days have pretty restrictive lists of what can and can’t be brought onto campgrounds, there are still plenty of fun, small items that your child is sure to love. From notepads and stationery for writing to personalized clipcases and “thing boxes” that can hold treasured possessions, discover tips for filling your care packages - whether sent in the mail or hand delivered on visiting day.

And don’t forget, the #1 item to include in your care package is a handwritten note full of love!

These personalized clipcases come in many patterns. Store stationery, pens, pencils and stamps inside.

Your child can keep in touch with personalized stationery, note cards, and handy address labels.

Your child will feel special with these unique note pads, branded with the camp’s name or their name. These 5” x 7” notepads come with 50 sheets and 10 matching envelopes.

This Lots of Hearts “thing box” can be personalized and can of course hold trinkets and more.
