Write better, funnier, more interesting letters to your camper
It’s the middle of July and, well, your letters may be getting just a bit stale. How many times can you tell your camper about the wonderful dinner you had, or the not-so-new dress you wore, or the latest goings-on at the neighbors’ house. It’s time to take action! It’s time to add a little humor to your letters. And it’s easier than you might think – and you can do it in 5 easy steps! Continue reading ‘Funny Letter 5-Step’
It doesn’t matter – your camper will love your letters!My wife likes to write long, thoughtful and complete letters to our campers. Me – I’m a get-to-the-point kind of guy – unless I’m writing a funny letter, in which case I become an author or a comedian with a long setup. Read on to learn about the different types of letter-writers. Continue reading ‘What Type of Letter-Writer Are You?’

Let’s face it, this whole camp letter-writing thing does not come naturally in this age of 140-character spurts of insight. Heck, putting pen (quill?) to paper seems downright, well, medieval!
And the letter-writing requirement only multiplies the longer your child is at camp (our kids spend 7 weeks) – and the more kids you have. My poor mom wrote 4 letters 6 days a week. She told me that she spent entire mornings writing them. The worst part – the more she wrote, the less she had to write about (she couldn’t talk about her mornings after all!)
But it’s OK. You’re not alone. We’ve all been there (and if we haven’t, well then something’s not quite right). Heck, I think of letter writing as a battle of wits. I spend the entire summer trying to outwit my kids with clever, funny, witty stuff in each and every letter. By this time of summer, I’m zapped! Trying to squeeze humor out of routine is tough. Inventing stories is hard. It got so bad last year that I left the letter-writing to my dog.
Need ideas for more interesting letters?
Try humor or injecting interesting tidbits or mixing it up.
Although it’s not always easy, letters to camp is not a war or attrition. It’s an act of love to your camper. Inject love and humor and authenticity and you’ll have great letters to camp.
This will really add some zing to your next letter to camp!
Let’s face it, it’s the middle of the summer, and you’re probably tapped out. There’s only so much you can write about waking up, washing, cleaning the house, going to work, eating dinner etc! And that’s where CampLibs ™ come in. CampLibs are just like MadLibs only you, the adult, fill them in and then your kids get to read them.
Imagine your camper rolling on the floor laughing at your CampLib. They’ll be reading them to their bunkmates – they’ll be the hit of the cabin. And you – well, YOU will be the coolest parent of all. Because who else sends a CampLib to their campers? Until now, NO ONE. So jump right in. This CampLib is guaranteed to make writing a letter as fun as reading it. And let’s face it, the price is r-i-g-h-t (as in free)!
