No-fail camp mail
We delivered my daughter to camp yesterday. She packed up a duffle bag full of necessities and never looked back.
I like to send a note or two to the children while they are at camp, but it can be tricky. Things don't arrive in time or I forget to get them in the mail. So I came up with another solution.
Now, instead of mailing letters, I send each child to camp with a mail bag. In it are manilla envelopes for each day. I slip a treat like a deck of cards or a little game that can be shared with cabin mates (no candy) and a letter in each envelope. That way nothing gets lost in the mail and I don't have to worry about forgetting to send anything off.
I've been doing this for several years and my children love it.
Question: Do you have a special way to send treats to camp for your child?
