Keep your camper laughing with funny letters to camp! Campers always love to get jokes from their parents. Jokes lighten your camper’s mood and help to build a shared connection between you and your child. What’s more, your camper will enjoy sharing jokes and laughs with their friends. In our family, we try to include a joke in each daily (!) email we send to our kids at camp.
Make it relevant. Remember to tailor your joke selections to the interests and sensibilities of your child. If your kid follows politics, send political jokes. Interested in computers? Send computer jokes, etc.
A web of jokes. You can draw from your own arsenal of jokes or you can find more jokes on the web. In most cases, it’s easy to cut and paste jokes, riddles and pictures from these sites directly into your typed letters and emails. You’ll also find that the ability to browse and find jokes varies greatly from site to site. The best sites include a multitude of categories with links to specific titles for each joke.
Joke of the Day? You choose. It’s tempting to just go to a joke of the day website and cut and paste the day’s joke. But the jokes tend to be uneven so you’re better off browsing for a an interesting joke.

Kid-Friendly & Kid-Safe Joke Sites
- A Joke A Day – It seems like of these jokes have been around for a while but if you look at the archives, you’ll find some god ones. The actual “Joke of the Day” usually comes from the archives. You can subscribe to a daily email as well. Fully Browse-able. Massive number of browse-able categories with joke descriptions.
- AHA Jokes. Excellent selection (some of the best kids jokes I’ve read) but difficult to browse. Browse to a category where you’ll see a numbered list without descriptions. Avoid the joke of the day because it doesn’t look like it’s been updated regularly.
- Arizona Kids Net. Jokes and lots of riddles submitted by kids. Difficult to cut and paste – but great selection of funny jokes. Easily brows-able but limited number of categories.
- Yahoo Kids – Jokes and Humor. Excellent jokes for kids that most parents will approve of. BUT you can’t cut and paste these jokes.
- Library jokes – Multinomah Public Library. Library jokes for real, and a lot more. Great links to other clean joke sites. Scroll to the bottom of the page for an excellent selection of clean, funny riddles. Easy cut and paste. Not browse-able.
- Jokes ‘n Jokes. All clean jokes with a few politically incorrect jokes for good measure. Includes numerous categories but the site layout is cluttered and a little difficult to navigate. Browse-able.
