Get Prepared For Camp Season (+ A Sale Code!)

Some of the most amazing memories of my childhood are those spent at summer camp.

There's something so amazing about being in the great outdoors, relishing the new-found independence that comes with attending sleep-over camp. Confidence that wanes in a school setting often soars at summer camp. Everyone is there to make friends, learn life skills and enjoy s'mores around the campfire. Simply put, it's magical.

At Oliver's Labels, we truly LOVE camp - for all of the reasons above, and more. That's why we are thrilled to share awesome resources on our blog and social media pages... everything from helping you find the right camp for your child, to last-minute camp tips and complete packing lists that make prepping for camp a breeze!

But we know that, no matter how prepared you are, there's a good chance your child's belongings won't all make it home at the end of the summer - unless they're labeled.

We are committed to keeping stuff out of the lost-and-found pile, so we're offering $20 off our Camp Package until June 22nd!

With over 120 personalized labels and tags available in designs for every age - including Allergy Alert styles - our Camp Package has everything you need to ensure your child has an enjoyable, stress-free adventure.

Now the only thing you'll have to worry about is if your kid remembered to apply sunscreen! 😉

Happy camping!

Summer is Almost Here... and You Know What That Means!

Longer days, sunshine, warmer temps, sandals...

They can only mean one thing - that summer will soon be here!

And with all of the craziness of summer, it's going to take every ounce of organization to keep on top of your kids and their schedules. So take this opportunity to strike a few things off your to-do list. If your child is going to camp {day or overnight}, let us help your kids' stuff stay out of the lost-and-never-found pile by labeling their items with our exclusive {and FREE!} Found-it™code.

There are designs for every age group, so you're sure to find something you love. And, for those children with food allergies, we have a full line-up of allergy designs (shown below) as well as multi-line Allergy Labels (for more lengthy text/instructions) to help keep them safe.

Summer Adventures

It's officially the end of the school year and I'm feeling nostalgic.

My "baby" isn't one any longer - she has leaped into the world of school trips, summer vacations and after-school play dates. For me, the start of this summer signifies her burgeoning independence, and it will be put to the test when she goes to full-day camp this summer. What a milestone! I'm excited for her and I know she will love it.

Camp plays such an integral role in helping children define themselves and build self-esteem. As a kid, I was lucky enough to go to camp a few summers in a row; they were some of the best times of my childhood. Camp was a place where great memories were made, friendships were nurtured and life lessons were learned. For my daughter, this summer is filled with the promise of new adventures and memories that will last a lifetime.

Now all I need to do (aside from keeping tissues close at hand in case I get emotional), is to make sure she's prepared. Needless to say, we'll be ordering some new labels with Found-it on them for all her camp "must-haves" (water bottle, swimsuit, towel, shoes, etc), and she will customize them herself - picking her favorite design and font make her feel like a big kid, which she officially is now. There will be a few safety talks as well because, after all, she's only five... and five-year-olds need a lot of reminders! Last but not least, I will tell her to be herself, have fun and enjoy her first camp experience.

Whether you have a child heading off to camp for the first time this summer, or are a seasoned camp vet, all of us at Oliver's Labels wish you and your family a fun, safe camp season.

Just in time for Summer Camp...

We know how busy this time of year can be, with the end of the school year approaching and the start of summer activities, camp, and trying to keep your kids occupied for two months.

If you child is going to camp - be it day camp or overnight camp - it's wise to label all of their items. With all of the fun they're sure to have, keeping track of their stuff isn't going to be high on their list! So, we've got a fabulous promotion just for you... but only for a limited time.

Order our Camp Package for only $38.99 (a $58.99 value!) - our biggest and best pack of labels and tags, sure to cover all your camp-labelling needs!

Be sure to follow us on Twitter, like us on Facebook and join our Google+ circles to stay in the know about all our contests and promotions!

Hi ho, hi ho, it's off to camp we go!

Is your child going to camp this year? Mine are still too young for "away" camp, but I've always thought that summer camp is an amazing experience that I want them to enjoy someday.

I remember going to camp - the freedom and independence, the sheer joy of making my own decisions. It was like heaven on earth for me. While I definitely missed my family, the experience was life-changing. For me, it was the first stepping stone to achieving self-confidence at such a young age.

While the thought of our kids being away from home is scary for parents, the benefits of summer camp are many. Friendships are forged that last a lifetime; self-esteem and confidence flourish. In today's "helicopter parenting" environment, camp can be the defining time when children spread their wings to venture beyond their comfort zones... and sometimes we, as parents, need to venture beyond ours.

Happy trails!
