It may seem a little early for to start thinking this far ahead, but now is the time to order clothing labels for summer camp. In fact, now is the time to reserve your child’s spot at their favorite overnight camp or day camp too. Some families wait until the last minute to start thinking about summer, but as children get older, there are so many new activities during the summer months. With football camp, cheerleading camp, tennis lessons, swim meets and day camp, summer days can be busier than the first weeks of school. That’s why so many families are taking an organized approach to their summer planning and doing it during the slower months of January and February.
Ladies, if you’re like most women who do all the shopping for their household then you may find it difficult to keep up with organizing all of your “stuff.” Shopping is only half the battle of running household; there is also the matter of finding a place to put everything. When there are children involved, they often leave valuable clothing, coats, toys and sporting equipment at a friend’s house or in the playground. Perhaps this is why so many moms rely on iron on clothing labels.
If you’re like me, then you probably think of clothing name tapes as something your mother used to keep you from losing your sweaters, camp clothes and backpacks. That hasn’t changed much since the early 70s, but the range of options in clothing labels has dramatically increased. For one thing, they are no longer just for clothing. Secondly, they are no longer just for parents. Grandparents, daycare workers, teachers, crafters, book club members and many other people are finding a use for clothing name tapes.
It seems like no sooner does summer begin than it’s time to start thinking of back-to-school. For many parents, signs of the new school year may be encouraging, especially if they’ve spent the whole summer entertaining young children. Whether you need to purchase school clothing name labels, new composition books, No. 2 pencils or a new backpack, the time to start shopping is now.
A recent trip to a Wal-Mart in Woodland, Colorado made me realize how soon the summer break will be over. It was hard to miss the huge yellow cartons of pencils, filler paper, glue sticks and more. But there is one important back-to-school item that cannot be found at your local Wal-Mart – school clothing labels. No, I’m not talking about those blank sew-on labels that are often accompanied by a waterproof marker. The school clothing labels I’m referring to are the kinds that come in rolls of preprinted clothing name tape, or self-adhesive pre-printed labels. There are many different ways to purchase these, but the best place to find them is at BestNameTape.com.
Did you ever want to hit the “restart” button with your kids? Probably not, if you’re children are still under the age of 13, but you may have also heard some discouraging stories from parents of teenagers. For this reason, so many parents have found that Christian youth camps can make all the difference in their child’s ability to stay strong in their faith.
If you’ve ever seen those TV commercials where the family is celebrating the beginning of summer, you may also notice a mom in the background with a worried expression on her face. One reason for this may be the unpredictable nature of summertime. Another reason could be that she forgot to order her printed clothing labels for the kids.
We all may remember a time when we were still struggling to find our place in the world, whether it was deciding what to major in at college or taking a stand against peer pressure in high school. Teenagers are facing these same challenges today as they try to follow God’s plan for their lives. Christian camps can play a very important role in helping teenagers grow in their Christian faith, while also helping them learn from one another. If your teen is getting closer to graduation from high school and struggling with finding a direction for their life, the Christian camps by Student Life Ministries may be the answer.
When one considers the type of clothing worn by school-age children and how often it gets lost, it’s no wonder that schools tell parents to “label everything”, but personalized clothing labels are not just for children. Whether you own your own stash of clothing name tape or you still rely on the “good old Sharpie”, families fin many reasons to label their belongings.
You can still use a permanent marker for sporting equipment, such as hockey sticks tennis rackets and basketballs, but they don’t work quite so well on the inside tags of most clothing. Labels are usually a safer bet because they don’t stain clothing and they come with a lot more information. Even long after the kids grow up, personalized clothing labels can go a long way toward keeping your family organized. Labels that contain a person’s name and address have found their way into all sorts of family traditions, from hand knit sweaters to expensive college textbooks, handmade crafts and other popular items.
The summer camping season is here at last. This means that kids everywhere will be headed for camp of some kind, whether it is for the whole summer, a week, or just a long weekend. Summer camp clothing labels are among the many essentials that will be listed on the “must have” list, but for some reason parents try to skip them. Then, in a mad rush to “label everything” on packing day, they pull out a Sharpie marker and attempt and write as lightly as they can on the inside of kids’ clothing. If you are one of those parents who has ruined more clothes this way than you’d like to admit, then this might be the year to purchase summer camp clothing labels.
