Need a Unique Gift? Make a Kids' Summer Camp Photo Book

Are you the parent that always has a camera in their hands? Do you capture each and every moment as your child grows? If so, there's no doubt you have a stack of photos from your child's last camp adventure to turn into a perfect summer photo book.

Did your son come home showing you a picture of the neat critters he was holding? Did your daughter try canoeing for the first time? You have the picture to prove it because she took her own camera to camp. You also have photos you took during those drop-off and pick-up moments. 

If so, why not create a gift to ensure those beloved memories remain as vivid as they are today? A photo book is a thoughtful and unique gift for children of any age. They can look back on it as adults as they're transported to a time of unadulterated joy and fun.

Bring Summer Camp Photos to Life With This Unique Gift

Whether you're already thinking about what to gift your child this holiday season or want to give them a "just because" gift they'll cherish, a photo book is the perfect solution. This tangible gift offers creative parents an easy and enjoyable way to solidify their child's memories through a beautifully designed camp photo album. 

By leveraging a photo story platform like Mixbook, you can quickly turn that folder of summer camp imagery into kids' photo books. This platform, empowered by creativity and deepened human connection, will allow you to create a camp photo book that instantly becomes one of your child's most thoughtful gifts. 

Collaborate With Your Kids 

As a photo-loving parent, you're likely snapping photos whenever you can, but what about when you're not around? To ensure those extra special camp moments are captured, encourage your kid to take some photos — especially if it's something you share a common interest in. If they have a smartphone, offer some tips concerning composition, lighting, exposure, etc. If they don't have a phone, get them a disposable camera to bring on their camp adventures. 

If your kid takes most of the photos, their gift will double as a portfolio of their shots. You can later include them in the photo book creation process, collaborating on meaningful dates and captions — or you can surprise them!

Love the Idea? Here's How to Get Started

Designing and making a camp photo album doesn't need to be a time-intensive, overwhelming process. You can complete a finished product without much time or experience when accessing the right tools and resources. By leveraging a photo book design platform, you can make a unique gift in minutes, not hours. You can even work on kids' photo books while on the go

Here is how easy this process is:

  • First, select a theme and layout. The Summer Camp Yearbook is a great option for a summer photo album.

  • Choose your materials, desired book size, and paper types. You can learn more with this resource on paper types, covering different weights, finishes, and textures.

  • Upload photos or pull images from your existing photos if you're an experienced Mixbooker. Either way, be sure to check out the latest tools and features found in the Mixbook Editor. From dynamic recommendations to easy layout previews, you will benefit from a service tailored to your unique creative vision. 

  • Now, the fun part is to customize! Bring your child's camp photos to life with captions, dates, stickers, and more. These small details create a story, ensuring those memories remain intact for decades. Mixbook allows you to create and upload your camp or outdoor-themed custom stickers. You can also select stickers from the "recommended stickers" dropdown menu theme stickers. See some examples below that would work well for a summer camp photo book.
