Storage Clipboard: 100% YES. Non-Negotiable.
Let’s talk camp organization… or at least our attempt at it. Because while we all dream of neat cubbies and tidy bunks, reality = piles of letters, stationery, bracelets, random lanyards, and who-knows-what everywhere.
Enter the storage clipboard.
This is not just a clipboard—it is the camp command center.
✅ Why Every Camper Needs a Storage Clipboard:
-
Holds pens, pencils, stamps, stationery, envelopes, address labels
-
Snaps shut so NOTHING gets lost
-
Doubles as a hard surface for writing letters on their bunk bed
-
Keeps everything in one place = counselors love it, moms love it, USPS loves it
It’s the one item that helps your camper actually write letters home instead of “I couldn’t find a pen.”
100% necessary. Zero debate.
🗂 7-Pocket File Folder: Optional… But Let’s Be Real
This is the “extra credit” organization tool.
What it does:
-
Sorts letters, postcards, photos, stickers, camp schedules, activity sheets
-
Keeps everything flat, safe, and separated
Is it helpful? Absolutely.
Is it life-changing for some kids? Yes!
Is your 8-year-old going to color-code their mail? Probably not. 🤣
Let’s be honest:
Some kids are naturally organized little CEOs.
Others… live in a beautiful tornado of chaos.
Our take:
-
If your kid is Type A: get it. They will thrive.
-
If your kid is Type “Where are my shoes?”: Clipboard only is fine.
-
If YOU need the peace of mind: just toss it in and hope for the best 😅
