I am going to be a counselor at church camp in two weeks. I want to get something for the kids in the cabin. I was going to get plain t-shirts and take paint and have all of them do shirts, maybe decorate together- hand prints/foot prints of all of them, but I have no idea of their sizes.
I was hoping for kind of a "we are a cabin" with "remember me after this week together."
What do you think???

T-Shirts are a great idea--Go for big ones because they will wear them anyway--If they are 10 try for adult mediums and smalls. You could probably get a good deal at Hobby Lobby or Walmart.
You can get paint pens for fabric--then they could autograph and you could even do a transfer with your theme or cabin name for the end.
Another idea would be do make a cross for them or do a picture frame they could autograph.
Good luck

I Think that sounds like a Great Idea and what you could do is get a bunch of Medium or Small Men sized white T-Shirts that way Yeah they will be big on some of the smaller kids but they will be fine for the bigger kids or if all of your crew are larger sized kids get them Large/X-large Shirts you guys can do that at the start of camp and at the end you can give them all one of those colorful Wristbands (you know everyone is wearing wristbands now) you can get them the ones that say all types of Biblical Messages 'I Love Jesus, Jesus loves me, Praise God...etc." I have been a counselor at camp for my church for 3-4 years straight now and last year we gave out the Wristbands and EVEN THE BOYS were excited to have and wear them.
I'm sure that they can be found many places but I think we got them from the Oriental Trading Company "www.orientaltrading.com or something like that?
Be Blessed and Enjoy your Camping!

Anything creative will work. Try getting over- sized bibles and hand paint them. T-shirts are a great idea, or you could do like duffel bags or something.

Get some beads at a craft shop like Hobby Lobby or Michaels and make them a cool necklace.

well depending on their ages sizes is probably not a huge deal...but if you go to those dollar stores they usually have tons of really cute, inexpensive, kids stuff. you can get them those squash balls they can get wet and throw around, they just have tons of really cute and fun stuff there, thats where i would look. and by the way, congrats to you for doing it, have fun, an older kid or a grown up taking an interest in who a kid is can change their lives.

I guess it depends on their age... like a younger kid might like a bubble set or something that they can use to build with when an older kid might like something sporty or a souvenir from the trip.
