My son is among the many kids who will spend a few weeks away from home this summer. His camp acceptance came with an extensive list of required clothing, equipment and supplies – seemingly enough to outfit the entire camp population! But I noticed that the list didn’t include some fun, little, Busy Bee style extras that might cheer a camper or entertain a bunk full of kids! So here are a few of the camp life enhancements I found!
Happy Camper Journal
This journal is light weight and flexible with lots of blank pages! Kids can record names and address of new friends, keep a log of camp activities, navigate a star chart and much more! (galison.com, $10) Also from Galison, is Happy Camper stationery and a cute summer camp photo album! ($10 and $9)
Bunk Box of Questions
From The Box Girls, this is a camp-style collection of 52 cool questions designed to help campers get to know their bunk mates and keep kids laughing all night! (theboxgirls.com, $19.95)
Campfire Companion
This gift promises to deliver good old fashioned fun, with a harmonica and an easy to follow DVD which will have kids playing classics like “Old Susanna” before they know it! (Gather Round The Fire, $17)
Care Packages from Beyond Bookmarks
These colorful, kid friendly, care packages have been thoughtfully assembled by Beyond Bookmarks, with a nod to camp settings and regulations, such as no candy or sweets! (beyondbookmarks.com)

Join Beyond Bookmarks Camp Club
One of the nicest features about Beyond Bookmarks is their BB’s Camp Club. This club allows parents to choose two or three care packages at one time and designate when each package is delivered to the camper! This way, mail call will include a fun surprise every week!
