Purchase an abundance of new camp supplies and go through them, labeling each with your child's name.
It's necessary but it can be wasteful, so it's nice to have an eco-friendly alternative.
Vancouver-based Emily Press Labels are phthalate and lead-free and leave no sticky residue so it's possible to use them for summer camp gear and reuse them during the regular school year. The labels are also water resistant and hand washable.
There are 14 stylish designs such as Camptime, Ladybugs and Hippie Love available slim packs of 80 or variety sets of 47, both for $19.95.
