Camp Box Videos

1. No-Sew Pillows

Your Camp Box came with the materials to make a no-sew pillow at home (you’ll just need to grab a pair of scissors — and/or a parent to help you!). In this video, staff member Helen takes you through the step-by-step instructions for how to make one.

2. Balloon Rockets

Staff member Matt teaches you how to make a fun balloon rocket with only a few materials!

3. Pipe Cleaner Creatures

In this activity video, staff member Kyle shows you how to make 3 creatures out of pipe cleaners. If you come up with other creatures to make with pipe cleaners, be sure to send us a picture!

4. Friendship Bracelets

Friendship bracelets are a classic craft at summer camp! In this video, staff members Shannon, Jeffery, and Dylan show you 3 different patterns for making a friendship bracelet.

Bonus Video: Cooking with Esteban — Making Tomato Soup

At Cross Roads, campers enjoy tomato soup and grilled cheese every Wednesday! In this bonus video, Esteban shows us his recipe for tomato soup. You can find the ingredient list on your recipe cards from your camp box, along with a few other favorite camp recipes. Enjoy!
