Now that summer is officially underway, I’ve been getting nostalgic for classic summer camp crafts. You know, the ones that you would make every year — things to wear, hang on your wall, and gift to your parents at the end of summer.
These projects are intended to take you back to your childhood, and maybe inspire you to bring some of this time-tested goodness back into your life this summer. I know that my 4-year old will enjoy tie-dying and sand casting, so I’m adding those to my summer bucket list.
What crafts do you remember from your camp days?

Thanks Carolyn — I had fun with this graphic, and glad it stands out. You’re so kind to share — much appreciated.
great roundup! thanks for including our sand casting project! i’m nostalgic for that vacation right now. on that same trip, we made tons of friendship bracelets for each other, as well. that beautiful acorn shaker has seriously been on my to-do list for over a year now. isn’t mini-eco so fab??? happy summer!
Uh-huh — it was hard to choose from your bounty of projects, but this one stands out because I had done it soooo many times myself. Look forward to trying it with my kids this summer.
Great roundup! Ahh to be a kid again, can’t wait to do some of these with my girls
Thanks Aleacia.
Love the classics! Thanks!
