5 Ideas for Summer Camp Care Packages

5 Ideas for the Summer Camp Care Package

This is the time when kids are getting dropped off at camp and parents are feeling a range of emotions from separation anxiety to the euphoria of free time! A great way to stay in touch is by sending your campers a care package within the first few weeks of camp. Keep the following in mind:

1. Brain/mind games: Studies show that kids can regress mentally up to 25% during the summer. Games like masterminds, puzzles, books and playing cards can keep them sharp.
2. Glow in the dark products: Party pack glow in the dark bracelets, sticks and Frisbees are fun and can be shared with bunk mates.
3. Battery operated: Fans, radio’s if permitted and electronics are always appreciated.
4. Snacks: Some camps no longer allow food in packages or have campers open the box while supervised. Try rice crispy treats which are nut and gluten-free so easily shared.
5. Make it personal: This is a great time to communicate feelings even perhaps some that you don’t often verbalize. A time to share words of wisdom by including a card and/or hand-written note. A little note can go a long way and have an everlasting effect on their summers and through lives journeys!While the kids are away at camp contact Robert for a free financial review this summer.
