Practical gifts for a camp kid

Avery No-Iron Fabric Labels, 54-count

Not glamorous, but stick-on labels mean next summer's clothes can get labeled in an evening without dragging out the iron.

BAGAIL Mesh Laundry Wash Bags, 5-Pack

They work at camp, on trips, and for sports socks, so they won't sit unused in a drawer.

Foxelli LED Headlamp Flashlight

A small gift that earns its place every night at camp, then comes in handy for camping trips and power outages at home.

Owala FreeSip Kids Stainless Steel Bottle, 16 oz

Kids drink more water from a bottle they like, and a stainless one goes from camp to school and back.

Coleman Dunnock Cold-Weather Sleeping Bag

A bigger gift that pays off on the first chilly cabin night and works for sleepovers the rest of the year.

Veken Packing Cubes Set

Cubes work like drawers inside the trunk, so clean shirts aren't buried under everything else by week two.

Kimmama Large Mesh Laundry Bag for Travel/Camp

Every camp list asks for a laundry bag, and having one wrapped and ready means no hunting for it the night before the bus.

F-color Mesh Shower Caddy Portable, 8 Pockets with S-Hook

Shampoo and soap go back and forth to a shared bathhouse every day, and a mesh caddy drains instead of leaving a puddle in the cubby.

Sunny Marshmallow Camp Is Sweet Fill in the Blank Stationery Set

Fill-in prompts make it easier for a kid to write more than "camp is fun, send candy."

USPS Forever #10 Stamped Envelopes

Pre-address these before camp, so writing home is just a matter of sealing the envelope and dropping it in the mail.

Shutterfly photo book

A small book of last summer's camp photos is something to flip through all winter while counting down to the next session.

KosherLamp Brand Shabbos Lamp with Adjustable Shade

The lamp stays on and you slide the shade to cover the light, so a kid can read on Shabbat without touching a switch. It plugs in, so check that the bunk has an outlet and that camp allows it.
