If your child is staying at an overnight camp, sending them a care package can be a great way to comfort your camper if they are feeling homesick. Your camper will be pleasantly surprised to receive a care package with some of their favorite things! Here are some tips on what to pack:
- Send their favorite dry snack such as chips, cookies or snack bars
- Avoid sending any liquid items to ensure that other items in the care package will stay dry
- Send puzzles, cards or other fun games
- Send a new book
- Only send shelf-stable food items. Avoid sending items that may spoil during the shipping process
- Send a favorite shirt, sweatshirt or other piece of clothing that they may have forgotten to pack
- Send their favorite stuffed animal
- Camp Parents suggest sending glow sticks and bubbles
There is also always the option to purchase a pre-filled care package. There are several companies that sell pre-filled care packages as well as custom made ones that can be tailored to your camper's needs. Send a care package to your camper today!
