I need to send some camp care packages to my almost 10 yo who is leaving for sleep away camp on Tuesday. (sniff, sniff).

I would like to avoid sending food because I am wary of allergies...

What do you suggest I send that is not food, not expensive, and easily shared amongst a group of approximately 12 girls?

So far I came up with mad libs, bubbles, water balloons?

Any other suggestions?

card games (not to actually give them all but they can play together)
stickers; cute note pads/stationary

It's really thoughtful of you to have her share it and avoid the possible jealousy.

She will not be embarrassed it's the totally in thing today. Also baby corn in a can or hot peppers. Get the cans that pull open. Sounds like fun!

UNO ( I wouldn't send regular playing cards cuz a lot of camps have a rule about that cuz there not tznius). any type of travel game is also good and they can take turns playing, I would also send something like rush hour for those times when she may want to be alone ( I always loved rest hour on shabbos, it was 3 hrs long and I would love taking the last hour to chill all by my self)
