When I was in third grade my mom shipped me away to Camp Susan Curtis, which is a sleep away camp. I was an awkward, shy, introvert, who absolutely despised most everything about camp. As a ten year old, two weeks felt like the longest time in my life. Bugs, wildlife, woods, hiking, swim tests, and canoeing were NOT for this girl. I even tried to go home early, but no such luck. My mom did not drive, so my ride home was set up for two weeks from my drop off date. No ifs, ands or buts about it.
My camp memories aren’t all horrible though. I loved the arts and crafts activities, my camp counselors, and working on the behind the scene sets for the play. By the end of the two weeks, I even made a couple of really great camp friends. Looking back, I’m glad my mom did not cave to my pleas of picking me up. Camp was a learning experience and I’m glad I have these memories. Even though I didn’t ever attend another sleep away camp, I will always remember sitting around the camp fire, making friendship bracelets and going on scavenger hunts.
With summer vacation just around the corner, parents and kids sare starting to think about their own summer camp plans. Parents of children who suffer from health and food allergies face a big challenge when it comes to keeping their children safe when away from home. That’s why Kiddotags.com created medical alert tags. With these tags you can customize the text and provide the safety guidelines needed to assist your loved one in an emergency and/or simply to remind those around them. They are the perfect solution for a child attending camp with a food or health allergy.
I absolutely love these tags. They are waterproof, washable, and brightly colored. Kiddo Tags carry a wide range of label tags including pacifier, lunchbox, clothing, bottle, and shoe tags. Check out my previous post for a full review of the Kiddo Tags!
