Preparing for Summer Camp

With June's arrival, it's time to prepare for summer fun. Camps are a great option for fun. Sleep-away, day, and family camps all provide enjoyment. We attend family camp every summer. In addition to that, our children will attend day camp when I teach a week at a science and engineering camp and again when I teach pioneer days. I can't wait!

I participated in an Influencer Activation on behalf of Influence Central for Mabel’s Labels. I received a voucher to facilitate my review as well as a promotional item to thank me for my participation.

As an adult (sometimes sleep-deprived, but still...), I have misplaced a few things at camp. That means I actually understand and empathize with tween and teen campers who leave their new sneakers, glasses, and all of their underwear behind. 


At family camp I've left my camera in the big hall. It was on the last day. Someone noticed before we left, but it was close! You'd think it was only small things that would be forgotten. That's not true. A couple years ago we left a stroller behind. A stroller. I hadn't even noticed. It wasn't until we'd been home for a couple of days that we received a phone call from the camp director letting me know it was there-and his suggestion of returning it us (without a giant shipping fee or driving several hours out of the way).


And I'm a responsible adult.


That's why when I was offered the chance to review Mabel's Labels, I said YES! Knowing my kids would spend seven days at day camp and another week at family camp, I knew we'd be able to put Mabel's Labels Limited Edition Camp Labels Pack to good use to prevent lost items and avoid mix-ups.


Labels for Camp

Mabel's Labels are great. I used their website to customize my labels. To make them extra-versatile, I used our last name so all of our family can take advantage of them. The children helped me decide on one of the many, many designs. We opted for a cute raccoon which all of the children liked.

Mabel's Labels are laundry, dishwasher, and microwave safe and 100% guaranteed! We've already used our labels for water bottles, beach towels, camera, sunscreen, and CD cases. 
Before camp, we'll add Mabel's Labels to our toiletries, hats, shoes, and especially any sweatshirts or jackets. They really seem durable. I think they're practical, and my kids love that it personalizes their items. 

Consider joining the Mabelhood community on Facebook and Twitter. If you have a child who loses school items or is going to camp this summer, be sure to check out Mabel's Labels. We've been using them for a couple of weeks and we all like them. They stay put, even after washing.

  1. I love their labels, we are still slowly working through a giant order I got a few years ago. It's funny what your kids will get mixed up with other kids stuff at camp.
