Summer is coming, and with it, the opportunity to go places we don’t normally go. Is any Summer destination more magical than Summer Camp? At camp, kids of all ages and backgrounds can spend a week, or a summer, meeting life-long friends and learning new skills. Camp is a safe place for kids...

Summer Camp is full of new people, places, and activities. That’s why it’s important to stick to as much of a camper’s regular routine as possible. Sometimes parents take their children off medications, vitamins, and other supplements to make things “easier” for them at camp. Please don’t do...

Bugs bite… (Literally AND Figuratively)! Parents are often forced to choose between letting their kids’ sensitive skin get attacked by mosquitoes or dousing them in bug spray full of nasty toxins and chemicals. Enter THE OUTDOOR BLEND. It’s full of oils that naturally repel insects. In fact...

Ahh…the great outdoors. Flowers, trees, grass, nature. Who doesn’t like to take a nice, deep breath of fresh air in the mighty theater of creation? But for the many people who deal with respiratory issues due to seasonal threats, a walk in the woods doesn’t feel so clear, crisp, and fresh...

Summer Camp provides a lot of time outdoors. There’s swimming, boating, sailing, team sports, and downtime spent at the beach with friends. While it feels great to lie out in the sun, too much sunshine can leave skin feeling irritated. LAVENDER, MELALEUCA, and PEPPERMINT, the same three oils...

Summer Camp sometimes results in a bit of homesickness. Some kids, especially veteran campers, are so excited to be at camp that they don’t have any issue with homesickness at all. In fact, die-hard campers are often more affected by “Campsickness,” or missing camp after returning home. But...

Cabin living can be so much fun! Living in bunk beds, telling scary stories, sharing hilarious inside jokes, participating in team games. But you can end up sharing more than secrets when you live with ten other people in close quarters: there are sniffles and sneezes and coughs to pass around,...

Campers have a ton of fun at Summer Camp! They also feel homesick…and have trouble sleeping…and get worn out due to all that fresh air and physical activity…and have to learn how to live with several new strangers with conflicting personalities…and more. And all this can lead to a need for...

It can be hard to sleep at Summer Camp. The beds are unfamiliar, your bunkmate is snoring, the crickets are chirping, and you’re way too excited about tomorrow’s color war (and the sugar you had at evening snack time isn’t helping either). The RESTFUL BLEND is quite effective at promoting a...

It’s hard to fall asleep at camp. But it’s also hard to wake up, too. Lots of fresh air, hiking and swimming, and late nights can make getting up, ready, and to breakfast on time one of camp’s biggest challenges. Invigorating oils such as PEPPERMINT and Citruses can help when sleepy campers are...

Canoeing. Sailing. Hiking. Gaga Ball. Ropes courses. Team building games. Camp is full of new physical activities! And for kids who are normally less active, just getting out for a nature walk or an hour of swim time can result in some physical discomfort in muscles and joints later. THE...

The splinter you get from the porch railing. The scrape on your knee from wiping out on the basketball court. That branch that whacks you in the arm when the person in front of you on the nature hike doesn’t hold it back for you. Stressed skin happens at camp. Make sure the ESSENTIAL...

Most camps are careful to get rid of poison ivy in common areas and make sure campers stay on the safe paths during hikes and other adventurous treks, so this shouldn’t be an issue. But nature is nature and sometimes it invades where you don’t expect it. Eighty-five percent of us are allergic...

Camp isn’t just for athletes and outdoor adventurers. Popular activities include arts and crafts time, archery, cooking, team building activities, and scavenger hunts. Many of these activities might not be difficult physically, but they do push campers out of their comfort zones mentally and...
