My daughter is turning 13 this friday and will be in camp. Any good ideas of a cute package I can send up? She already has tons of nosh but I can't think of anything except that. Any ideas?

I have the camp do a cake, and I send a package with something she can share with her bunkmates. Maybe little emoji squooshies or something similar (small and affordable but cute.) Does she have a tutu? If that's a thing in her camp and she doesn't have, you could send her. Or a cuddly stuffed animal that matches her taste (traditional, funky, etc.)

Whatever you would give her at home for a birthday gift. My parents just sent my birthday gift to camp which was fun

How am I supposed to send this? Does anyone know how to get it there? Anyone know a bakery that delivers?

Check with the camp. Many camps will not allow food packages but will arrange for a birthday cake or small party if you give them enough notice.

It doesn't really matter what you send as long as she knows you're thinking of her.
