MABEL'S LABELS:

At the end of summer, there is always a pile of campers belongings left at camp. This is an expensive waste for our campers (and their parents!) As a way to target the problem of lost belongings and a large lost and found closet, we are encouraging our campers to label all belongings. We have partnered with Mabel's Labels, a company with all types of labels that are colourful, indestructible and fun!  With a special 'camp pack' available and also a larger combo pack, your camper can label absolutely everything! Just click the banner below, select our camp name in the dropdown and place your order. We look forward to sending campers home with ALL their belongings this summer!
