We all have a good idea of what we’re packing for our kids to wear at camp, but what about special treats for them to eat at camp?

Sure, chips and gummy worms work, but we think treats like pickles, Gefen soups, and Fruit Patches make for a way more exciting time!

We’ve put together a list of AMAZING snack ideas to send with your kids to camp in a few weeks.

The only problem? All the other kids will want what your kid is eating (so pack extra!).

GEFEN NOODLE SOUPS

A true classic that ALL kids love, Gefen soups are kid friendly, perfect for travel, and come with a convenient spork (spoon-fork). Just add hot water and enjoy!

GEFEN GRANOLA BARS

Looking for a more wholesome, high-energy snack your kids can enjoy between all the camp activity? Gefen makes honey-flavored granola bars, and now a new flavor, “Peanut Butter”! Just make sure to verify your camp’s nut policy before sending.

GEFEN VANILLA WAFERS


Perfectly creamy, conveniently packed, and oh-so delicious. These are the perfect bring-along snack for every now and then when your kid wants a  delicious indulgence.

GEFEN FRUIT PUNCH

What kid doesn’t like fruit punch? For a hydrating pick-me-up during their day, pack them some of Gefen’s punch. What we love about Gefen’s Fruit Punch is that it’s made with no high-fructose corn syrup, making it a healthier juice option.

KEDEM TEA BISCUITS

Did you know that Kedem Tea Biscuits come in flavors like Chocolate, Cappuccino, Orange, Plain, and Vanilla? They make the perfect grab-and-go snack that isn’t loaded with sugar. When your kid is tired of all the chips and candy, these are the perfect snack to reach for.

GEFEN GLUTEN-FREE TEA BISCUITS

For kids who need a great gluten-free snack, Gefen Tea Biscuits are the way to go. They’re a delicious classic snack that is the perfect addition to the rest of the snacks they’ll have access to at camp.

HEAVEN & EARTH TAFFY ROPES

On to the products all kids expect to eat at camp, candy! Only you’ll know that these soft-chew taffies are made with the best ingredients. Heaven & Earth Taffy Ropes contain no artificial colors, sweeteners, or preservatives. They are packed with flavor and are carefully made to create that flawless, soft taffy texture.

HEAVEN & EARTH LIL TAFFY

Don’t settle for just any ‘ole taffy. Heaven and Earth’s “Lil Taffys” are individually wrapped (perfect for sharing with friends), are packed with yummy flavor, and like Heaven and Earth’s other taffies, are better for you. Any kid would love seeing these packed in their away bags!

GEFEN POPPED CORN CHIPS

Another great gluten-free snack; Gefen’s Popped Chips are a must! They come in a perfect-size bag for kids, and are great eaten on their own, or paired with salsa and dips (which are also perfect for camp). These are loved by all for a reason.

HEAVEN & EARTH VEGGIE STICKS

Convinced you brainstormed every snack imaginable to pack for camp? Think again! Heaven and Earth Veggie Sticks are a great option for camp. Camp is really long, which means it’s likely your kid will get tired of the snacks they have very quickly. Pack some unexpected snacks in there for them, too.

GEFEN CUCUMBERS IN BRINE

Is there a kid who doesn’t like pickles? Our guess is no. Surprise them with some cans of this salty and savory treat!

TELMA KARIOT

We don’t only love these for their crunchy cereal exterior and creamy nougat center, but also because they can be enjoyed as both a snack and breakfast (in a bowl with milk).

HEAVEN & EARTH FRUIT STRIPS


Another healthier alternative to sugar-loaded candies, these patches come in perfectly portioned pouches and taste like fruit leather taken up about 10 notches! They’re one of our favorites!

In case you haven’t already noticed from this list, we love sending kids to camp with food they’ll ACTUALLY be thrilled to unwrap. However, that doesn’t mean everything has to be loaded with sugar. We want kids to FEEL great at camp too, which is why we love the balance of exciting and yummy treats that are also a drop healthier for you. We hope these snacks help make your kids’ time at camp extra fun and enjoyable!

SUMMER CAMP CARE PACKAGE

Our kids want their snacks to cover all the bases; nosh, healthy alternatives, bags, for sharing, meal supplements…and grocery shopping, taking everyone’s opinions into account, is not an easy endeavor.

Thankfully, these camp boxes eliminate that source of stress, so we can sit back, relax, and lecture our children about brushing their teeth everyday. Easy packing!
