Move Over Traditional Camp Care Packages! Here Comes the Camp Flat Pack!

    FAIRFIELD, CT, June 15, 2016 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Summer camp directors are screaming, "Enough!" when it comes to camp care packages. Concerns about policing contents of packages, disposal of packing materials, and distributing boxes have contributed to changing care package policies. While some camps have placed a ban on all packages coming in to camp, other camps have asked parents to send only what will fit in a 12" x 9" padded envelope, aka a camp flat pack or a flat camp care package.

No worries! Here's a few ideas to help you fit plenty of play in to your next camp flat pack:
1. Puzzle books-Crosswords, Word Finds, Sudoku, Mazes, Logic Puzzles, and Dot to Dot books.
2. Temporary Tattoos or sticker sets.
3. Card Games-The list really is endless! Don't forget score card and pencil.
4. Adult (aka grown up) coloring books and colored pencils.
5. Embroidery floss, paracord, or lanyard material for friendship bracelets.
6. Sketchpads, writing journals, autograph books.
7. Stretchy toys and rubber bugs.
8. Whoopee cushions, glow stars, rocket balloons, inflatables
9. Craft materials- origami papers, pipe cleaners, mini rubber bands, popsicle sticks.
10. Jokes books and comic books.
