Around 30% of American parents send their kids to summer camp, and the market size amounts to $3 billion. Keep these kids entertained all summer with various crafting projects. You’ll need an array of craft materials to make sure the kids can get their creative juices flowing, and they all leave as happy campers!

String Bracelets

Friendship bracelets will always carry important memories. Arrange for the kids to create jewelry for their friends during the summer. Pull the beads through the string and tie a knot at the end to secure it. This will keep the kids occupied for a while as there are countless bead and jewelry supplies to choose from!

Craft Paint

You’ll find numerous stones in the outdoors. Why not make the most of them and use them for a camp craft? Painted rocks make fantastic keepsakes, and the kids can share the story behind their artwork around the campfire!

Bubble Wands

There’s something about bubbles that makes everyone happy. Create some bubble wands with easy-to-find craft supplies: some popsicle sticks and fuzzy pipe cleaners. Simply bend the fuzzies into a loop and stick it onto the stick.

Yarn Animals

Here’s another use for the popsicle sticks! Glue the sticks together to create the structure for the insect or animal the kids want to make. Then, wrap the yarn around to bring the form to life. They can have all the fun they want with the colors and shapes.

Clay Faces

Help the kids collect small stones and leaves to create clay faces. After creating the shape of the face with the clay, they can use stones or twigs for the eyes and mouth, while soil or leaves can act as the hair. Let them get creative and collect whatever their heart desires (as long as it’s safe).
