Campers delight in care packages from home! Remember, cookies are a must.  How about some handmade marshmallows by whimsyandspice to roast on the campfire?



Besides attending to the sweet tooth, you can do some long-distance soothing.



The bug-bitten campers will appreciate flyingbirdbotanicals' Bites, Stings, Burns and Ouchies ointment. Maybe throw in some extra natural bug spray and poison ivy ointment too.

Sleepover camp can introduce some kids to pencil and paper correspondence — a respite from incessant IMing and texting (do 10 year olds have cell phones these days?). 



Paper goods category on Etsy has some fun stationery for little people. OopsyDoodleDesigns offers a starter kit for the kids not inclined to wax poetic unassisted.



skgpapers' invitations could be used as wee dioramas with a tender note tucked inside. Each comes with a toadstool bead, perfect for your kids' newfound passion for making jewelry with embroidery thread. (Editorial note: we are feeling so nostalgic for friendship bracelets!) Check out the Supplies Category's options for stashes of embroidery thread in every hue.
