Creating the Camp@Home Kits
We hope that you enjoy the experience of creating a kit for children and youth who will most certainly appreciate your creative touches and care!
A comment about printing: We like colour printing and these files will be great if they are printed in colour, and they also work to be printed in black and white (save your budget for something else!) We wanted to make it as simple as possible for you. The PDF files are ready to print or you might choose to use the Jpeg files and create your own newsletter with the pieces you would like to include.
A comment about supplies: The supplies that we are suggesting might be found in CE cupboards everywhere or are easily located. We are assuming that families have basic art supplies (scissors, felt pens or pencil crayons, crayons, tape…) You may want to include some of the basic art supplies if you feel it is necessary.
There are PARTS of this kit:
- The HOUSEHOLD pieces are intended for the entire household.
- The PACKETS are age specific - Preschool/Kindergarten, Elementary and Youth.
