Summer is in full swing, which means it is also the season for camp care packages.
I remember waiting for mail call as a camper, wondering if I would be lucky enough to score a care package. We weren’t allowed to get food in our packages, but I had a friend who was a master at the false bottom and she’d always send tons of candy hidden below the cardboard and confetti. She also sent a party mix tape (this was the 1980s) and tons of confetti, and silly toys.
Now that my kids go to summer camp (and I am allowed to send candy) I have a blast each year crafting care packages with silly, fun stuff.
We send airplane craft kits, yo-yos, fake bugs and lizards, and, of course, candy.
If your kids go to camp, what do you include in your care packages (in addition to sweet notes, of course)?? A friend of mine has asked me for some ideas, and we could use yours, too….
