Lulu and Latte’s Ultimate Camp Visiting Day Guide 2015

I can’t believe this will be the third summer since I wrote “The Running of the Jews“.  As most of you know this is one of my favorite articles to write because the “stuff” just gets better and better each year. I am assuming most of you have had your first phone call so you should be aware of any special requests for visiting day. But if not….

I scoured the country for the hottest camp visiting day bunk gifts, candy packages, accessories, and color war goodies. If you can’t find something here, you are pretty much shit out of luck. Because many of the custom/personalized items have a two week turn around time, I wanted to get this article out early enough so you had enough time to place your orders.

Like I did for the camp essential guide –  Many of the stores/vendors are offering my lulu readers a discount on your purchases! The codes are listed at the end of this article.  Don’t forget them!

After 3-4 weeks of no candy, gum, or whatever else gives them cavities, here are some gifts that are bound to make your kids go coco for Cocoa Puffs.
