Pack shower and bath towels that are somewhat thin and will dry quickly. If you are in a humid environment, thick, plush towels will never air-dry in between uses.
Collect or buy stickers from various places you’ve traveled or shopped and decorate your trunk. Stickers will also help you identify your water bottles easily, although I also recommend labels on everything!

Consider packing fun string lights, battery operated clip-on fans or reading lights for bunks too. Your bunk is your special space so decorating with pictures and stuff from home might also help prevent homesickness. (Remember tacks or tape for photos). A pack of Command hooks could come in handy too.

Pack lots of stationary, stickers, fun, colored pens. Pre address and stamp envelopes for ease. Be sure to send your children letters well before they are arriving at camp so the letters will be waiting for them. Camp mail is the best! Do not tell your children how much you miss them in letters. That could create a sense of guilt/homesickness for them, and they will imagine you sad at home wishing they weren’t at camp. Just tell them how excited you are to hear about all of their new friends and adventures.

Bringing themed items (ex: glow sticks for the glow party) for your whole cabin is a great way to bond and get everybody in on the fun!
