What to Buy for the Camper Who Has Everything

Preparing to send your child to summer camp may require several shopping trips.  They will need swimsuits, shorts, pajamas, sporting equipment, and lots of sunscreen and bug repellant.  This is an exciting time for kids, but a hectic time for adults, as the clock ticks down to the start of summer.

In the weeks leading up to camp, most parents find that their kids get a little nervous about being away from home.  Whether your child is going to camp for a few weeks or the whole summer, they may be worried about homesickness, meeting new friends or adjusting to the camp routine.

One way to help your child transition from school to summer camp is by buying some special camp stationery, notepads and accessories.  Camp stationery sets are available in a variety of kid-friendly designs, including tie dye, sports, campfire, and many other unique camp themes.  Parents can get their own stationery too, with special parents greeting cards designed to remind campers that their family is thinking of them.

If your child isn’t much of a letter writer, then another great gift idea is a personalized autograph pillowcase or stuffed pillow.  An autograph pillowcase makes a great keepsake because all their bunkmates can sign it. Each one is individually packaged with its own permanent marker.

Your son or daughter will enjoy having their own special camp stationery to write letters home, and the autograph pillowcase will be the envy of their cabin.  What is nice about these gifts is that they are such a pleasant reminder from home.  Camp stationery sets and autograph pillows can even be shipped directly to camp.
