For packing your trunk, use packing cubes! They keep things need and tidy and it's easy to find what you need in a pinch.

Send Care Packages
Posted on
My daughter loved that I kept a few items out of her trunk and sent them in a care package so she had fun mail to open: sunglasses, twinkle lights, playing cards. Just fun things for her to receive.

Talk With Camp Friends
Posted on
Communicate occasionally with your cabin mates after camp is over. I email but texting is good too. Use major holidays and school breaks to send a quick note back & forth. Even though we don’t live in the same town it will make camp feel like I’m showing up around old friends. And that’s a great feeling!

Double Label Items

Always double label- I used the stick on labels from ESC and also used the stamper as well- labels sometimes fall off or your child may pick it off, so the ink is a great backup!

Get Your Camper Involved in Packing

Parent tip-- Show your child their things BEFORE you pack it in their trunk! Make sure they know what their laundry bag, sports equipment and non personalized items look like so they can recognize it in the bunk.
