💌Care Packages That Don’t Break the Rules (or the Sugar Limit)
Care packages: the ultimate “I miss you” in box form. 📦
But these days? Camps have rules. No food. No candy. No glitter bombs. (We see you, 2019.)
Here’s how to send joy and stay within the guidelines:
Fun Fillers:
- Stickers, Mad Libs, word searche
- Socks in fun patterns
- Friendship bracelet kits
- A deck of cards or travel game
- Camp-themed stationery
Surprise Ideas:
-
Photos from home (with the dog, of course)
-
A handwritten note from siblings
-
A small LED night light or bunk charm
Skip It:
-
Anything edible (even if it’s “just gum”)
-
Slime (counselors everywhere beg you)
✨ The Bottom Line:
|
Goal |
Send |
Skip |
|

Crafts, notes, photos |
Food, slime, glitter |
|
Useful |
Socks, flashlights |
Anything sticky |
Think love, not loot. The best package is the one that says: we miss you, we’re proud, have the best time. 💕
