Summer is only a couple short months away and we all know what that means, some free time for parents as we send our kids off to summer camp! For those of us sending our kids off for the first time this can be an emotional time. A majority of parents are never away from their children for longer than a night, so this can be a big deal for a lot of families. Thinking of everything your child might need whether it is a week to a whole summer can seem overwhelming, but here at Baby Smiles Labels we have your back!
Checklists Are Key!
Most of the time when you sign your child up for a summer camp they will provide you with a list of everything that you child needs for camp. This is a great start for all of the basics that your child will need to survive the summer away from home! From this list we suggest you expand into other things your child may require such as medications, special blankets, retainers, basically anything that is specific to your child’s needs.
Emotional Preparation
As we previously mentioned, this will probably be the only time throughout the year that you and your child spend a significant amount of time away from each other. It is important to emotionally prepare your child before they leave for their summer away with positivity and encouragement. It might seem like the thing to do, but avoid telling them how much you’re going to miss them and instead talk positively about all the fun they are going to have and all the friends they will make. A little encouragement will go a long way!
Use Personalized Labels To Protect Their Belongings
Whether your child is away for a week or the whole summer it wouldn’t be fun to have to consistently ship them new things once they are lost. The only sure way to make sure your child’s essentials don’t get mixed up with others is with personalized labels. You can label anything with our customized labels:
- Clothing
- Trunks
- Toiletries
- Bedding
- Flashlight
- Water Bottle
- Sunscreen
You name it and we can create a label for it! You can even create waterproof labels for raincoats, goggles, water bottles and more. Make your child’s camp experience unique today!
