At the end of summer, there is always a pile of campers belongings left at camp. This is an expensive waste for our families! As a way to target the problem of lost belongings and a large lost and found closet, we are encouraging our parents to label all their children's belongings.
We STRONGLY recommend that you label all items your child comes to camp with....shirts, shorts, bathing suits, towels, sweatshirts, sneakers, flip flops, water bottles, hats, etc. Once you label items, check them occasionally during the summer to make sure that your name is still clearly legible.
When lost items are clearly labeled, it's very easy for us to get them back to you. Unlabelled or illegibly labeled objects go into our Lost and Found "cave" and may never again be seen by human eyes!
We look forward to sending campers home with ALL their belongings this summer! Thanks for your help in reaching this goal.
You can use a permanent marker, or we recommend either of the two following systems for marking belongings:
Mabel's Labels (press-on stickers and iron-on labels)
Name Dropper (permanent ink laundry stamp)
