A big part of summer has always been summer camp for me. Now that my kids are all into it, too, I relish packing and sending summer Camp Care Packages!
Unlike the camps I attended as a child, their camp allows candy and food in the care packages- I think they even encourage it! So far, only two of our three kids have been to summer camp this summer.
Here’s what I’ve sent in their care packages this summer:
What’s inside:
- Girl Scout Cookies
- Bic Pen with 4 colors
- Tic Tacs
- Blinking Yo-Yo
And here’s another one:
What’s inside:
- Sour Patch Kids
- Heart Stickers
- Rice Krispie Treats
- Easy Crossword Puzzle Book
One more:
What’s Inside:
- Rice Krispie Treats
- Pixie Sticks (leftover from a birthday party!!)
- Deck of Playing Cards
And, of course, no summer camp care package is complete without a sweet note from Mom and Dad. I always try to ask about the friends my child is meeting or the fun times they are having to keep them focused on camp. I don’t want to point out that I miss him or her and open the door for homesickness. So far, all has gone well and I always get stories of crazy adventures, sillier dress-up days and sharing their treats with their friends.
Long live summer camp… and summer camp care packages!!
