Iron on name tags have saved my son from losing so many things other than clothes. I even put them on his shoes. I know with my son it was necessary since he was sent with rain boots too.

I know a lot of kids this age love wearing name brand clothing. Lululemon in particular is a huge favorite. The camp laundry is known for losing or mixing up clothes. Either label your clothes VERY WELL or consider keeping favorite things at home. Remember, if a child opens their laundry to find a few choice Lululemon pants that don't belong to them, chances are they will think they won the lottery, not find their owner!

Since the kids don't have access to electronics at camp, they have a lot more free time! Consider sending bracelet making string in a plastic container with lots of colors. They will be able to share with their new friends and will improve their abilities by learning new stitches.

Sending a Polaroid camera is a great way to capture memories and decorate your school locker the following year. Polaroids look so cute hung from fairy light strings too!

This year, my daughter brought a huge pallet of eye shadows in lots of colors. She also brought q-tips to keep it hygienic so others could use it too. She was the most popular girl on any day where people wanted to look nice and on color war day!
