💌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

Fun

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. 💕
