Summer Camp Ideas for Children

School is rapidly approaching the end and what are your plans this summer? If you are like my family, we vacation during the spring or fall so the summer is wide open. My children are just now getting old enough to participate in summer camps. The reason I personally like the idea of summer camps, is because I like for my children to stick to some sort of schedule and, honestly, get out of the house for a few hours.

Since my family is so new to summer camps, please let me know what summer camps you have attended and I will look into them. I want to have an ongoing summer camp list that people can use and find informative.

What You Need to Know When It Comes to Traveling with Kids

When it comes to taking your children on vacation, you want to make certain that they not only have a nice time but that they also get as much knowledge as possible about the world that they live in. Getting out of their homes and seeing the current world with their own eyes is something that should never be taken for granted in this day and age of ever-increasing reliance on technological advancements.

What to Pack Your Child for Summer Camp

 This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of Name Bubbles. All opinions are my own.


Summer camp! Do you have plans to send your little one to either a day camp or spend the night camp? I remember sleep away camp when I was growing up. I was able to go two years in a row and it was so much fun. Packing was probably the hardest part. We didn't have a washer or dryer on site, and it was a two week stay. Plus, it was in Georgia and no air conditioning, so we had to pack a LOT if we didn't want to wear sweaty clothes multiple times. Since I have some experience, I thought I would share what to pack your child for summer camp, so you know you are preparing your child to make the most out of summer camp.


What to Pack Your Child for Summer Camp

What To Pack for Summer Camp


LABEL EVERYTHING! Use stickers, permanent marker, stamps, sew-on labels, iron-on labels, etc. This is the MOST important thing. We had a kid on our trip that didn't bring half of their things and was just use to "borrowing" whatever was around at their house. So, they "borrowed" someone else's toothbrush and my hairbrush until we told one of our camp leaders and they ran to the store to grab them some extras. The next year I packed an extra toothbrush just in case. But the kid didn't touch anyone's items if they had a name on it, so label everything! Name Bubbles sells quality labels that are reusable and washable which are environmentally friendly while being cute and practical. The best part is they can used for years and years to come. These reusable labels can withstand any dishwasher, bottle warmer, or microwave, so label away because these reusable Write-On Labels are going to make your camper the most prepared this year. Name Labels makes it easy with custom camp labels.

10 Crafty Ways To Teach Your Child During Summer

As your kids stay home for the summer holidays, they are bound to miss out on new information and skills. They may end up losing up to a whole semester of reading skills and mathematical skills from their school year. Therefore, it's up to you to ensure that they keep acquiring new skills or at least retain the ones they've received.


10 Crafty Ways To Teach Your Child During Summer


If your kids genuinely dislike the school curriculum, they will transfer this resentment and frustration with their school to you. However, making your kids do homework or review flashcards repels them from the whole idea of learning. It would help develop fun and entertaining ways to deconstruct your kids' most challenging subjects subtly. For instance, math learning games can transform the attitude of one of your kids struggling with algebra or fractions.

Furthermore, your learning sessions should involve your children's extensive participation. If they participate in their daily routines, you won't have to worry about focus loss. Sometimes, treating your children with confidence in their judgement asserts their inner drive and competence. The following are some of the ways you can start with:
