Tips For Writing Notes To Kids At Camp
Keep Encouraging Campers in the Your Letters: Camp is a big deal and a great opportunity for your to praise their independence and note how excited you are to hear how fun camp is and the new things that they have learned!
Write Early and Often: Send that first letter days before they leave so they hear from you in the first few days! And keep those letters coming! Our camp letter templates from parents each have a few versions with different content so you have options of different things to tell the campers and ask them!
Ask Questions in Your Notes from Parent to Camper: One of the best ways to get a response from your camper is to ask them a question! Short and simple questions are usually best. You can also tell them the start of a joke or riddle and see if they can solve it and get back to you!
Be Positive in Letters to Camper: When you’re asking questions, phrase things in a positive way… an example would be “what’s the best thing you’ve eaten at camp,” versus simply asking “how’s the food at camp?”
Try Not to Trigger Homesickness: It’s great to share news from home in your letters to camper, but don’t make home sound so appealing that they wish they were there!
Send a Treat: If you’re simply sending a letter, add a treat! It could be stickers, a word cross or search puzzle, a stick of gum (if allowed), a photo or a Mad Libs! Bonus if it’s something they can do and send back to you! First check with the camp on enclosure rules.
Encourage Family Members + Friends To Write Campers: Camp letters can come from grandparents, aunts, uncles and friends too! Our free camp letter templates from parents are great for anyone to use!
