Camp Campbell: A Small Business

Although it's been awhile since I've updated my blog, I've recently gotten a lot of feedback from Facebook friends who are interested in the activities I do with my children.  The biggest complaint I get from friends who are also rocking that toddler life is that it's difficult to find age appropriate activities, gather the supplies, and implement them at home.



Finding activities that are engaging and interesting for you toddler can be exhausting.  Pinterest is amazing, but it offers such a variety of choices that, unless you know what your focus is, it can be an overwhelming database of ideas.  Purchasing the items needed to complete the chosen activity can be frustrating.  Why would I want to buy 100 popsicle sticks when I only need seven to complete a craft?  I needed glitter glue for that?  Ughh...Not to mention that those of us who are full time mommies/daddies and full time employees are hurting for the time and energy to hit up the local Dollar Store for said items.  Implementation offers its own variety of challenges.  The activity was way too easy for my child!  The activity was way too hard!  My child's attention span, or lack thereof, didn't allow us to get through the first step!  The internal monologue of questions and self doubts can stun capable parents and make them feel inadequate.

Hearing this, I realized parents need help.  They want to do these activities with their children, but they are in need of direction.  They want to have these moments with their children, but they don't know where to begin.  That's where the idea for taking Camp Campbell and putting it into other people's homes came to me.

So, what does Camp Campbell look like?  Camp Campbell is a fun, academic based enrichment program for your 2-5 year old with a focus on creating memorable experiences and meaningful conversations with your little one.  Every month you will receive a package from Camp Campbell.
Each package includes eight activities complete with lesson sheets and supplies. The lesson sheet will guide you through the activity.  The lesson sheet even shows you how to level the activity up or down based on your child’s age and needs.
