10 crazy things to send your child at SLEEP AWAY CAMP
(affiliate links have been provided)
- A LETTER FROM YOUR PET-The big worry in sending a letter to camp is not wanting to make them miss home. Last year our letters were all sent from our hamster, Pumpkin Muffin. We gave my daughter an update but it was from his perspective. She loved it and read the letters to the girls in her barn. This year her bunny is writing them.
- A BOX FILLED WITH WIGS, TUTUS, and one of these CRAZY HATS- Camps usually have several costume parties and everybody loves a ridiculous wig or pair of crazy glasses.
- MAD LIBS
- NFL Playing Cards – Does your child have a favorite sports team? Order playing cards with that team.
- NIGHTTIME FUN KIT- Glow in the dark body paint, bracelets, and shoe laces
- Crazy Creek Chair – This is the ultimate cool chair at camp. From sitting around the camp fire to the gatherings at night, this chair goes everywhere.
- BOOKS BOOKS BOOKS -Here is a book list for middle schoolers.
For younger kids here are cute books all about camp.Click image for full list.
- BOOK LIGHT – Every reader needs a light for quiet time especially in a room with a dozen other kids.
- PRE WRAP!!!- my daughter’s favorite!! We make headbands, bracelets, and all sorts of fun creations with this gauzey, lightweight material.Our camp doesn’t allow duck tape for obvious reasons, but pre wrap is fabulous!
- Insanely Cool Spheres – These balls start out small but expand in 2 seconds to enormous spheres. The glow-in-the-dark factor even makes them cooler. We learned about these at the Science Center.
- QUIET TIME KIT – deck of cards. a book with a book light, friendship bracelet kit
- STATIONERY –pre-addressed and stamped envelopes with colored pencils and stickers…but do something funny on the paper. Start the letter for them in a humorous way like, “Dear Mom and Dad, I haven’t brushed my teeth or taken a shower since I got here” or something your child would find funny.
- COLORED ZINC – Worry about them not wearing sunscreen? Throw in some colored zinc and they are sure to decorate their faces in all sorts of ridiculous fashion.
- TEMPORARY HAND TATTOOS – great to share with lots of kids too. Can’t you imagine a cabin of boys and a “Shark Attack” with these?
SOUVENIR TO DECORATE– a pillow case, white towel, or plain white t-shirt with fabric markers so everybody can sign. You could even send a t-shirt for each child in the cabin.
