This fun crafts activity gets creative with paper. It’s papercrafts, scrapbooking, or what we call KIT (which stands for “keep it touch”)! Held in the historic camp building called “Goodwill,” girls make all sorts of things with paper. They start with ornate card stock, patterned paper, stickers, stamps, pens, and embellishments to create a wide variety of papercrafts to send to family or take home.
Make a Card !!
Card stock, paint, glitter, markers, die cuts, stencils, washi tape, stickers, photos, and printed paper— use them all to make a unique gift you can mail.
Scissors and glue bring it all together as you cut and create. Take your project to the next level by adding layers, overlapping shapes, and mixing colors.
Make a bunch of cards. There’s a lot to write home about when you’re at camp!
Decorate a Calendar !!
Each month of your calendar can have a different patterned border, colorful background, and designs for every holiday.
This is a chance to make a collage by cutting out printed photos, and gluing them in arrangements.
You can make each one as different as you like!
Make a Memory Box !!
Keep your camp memories in a paper box you made yourself, complete with colorful patterns and decorations to make it your own.
How would you decorate your memory box if you had every color marker, and an endless variety of paper scraps?
When you personalize the inside too, it’ll be a nice memory of camp each time you open the box.
Campers choose their projects with the instructors ready to provide suggestions and to help understand the different materials available. It’s popular to create cards to send home to parents, with widely different decorations like adding glitter, paint or even colorful duct tape. Another project is decorating memory boxes to hold camp memorabilia. Girls make items like stationery, calendars, book covers, origami, gift bags, and photo albums too. This is very cool scrapbooking!
KIT meets in the cozy and comfortable atmosphere of the Goodwill cabin, a 19th century authentic log building on the camp property. Campers work side by side on their individual projects, making conversation flow easily. By the end of the class, everyone has something beautiful and unique to share with their camp friends!
