Camp Nature – Monthly Gifts that are Fun and Factual!

If you’re looking for an unusual and exotic present, then the Camp Nature collection may be for you. Camp Nature is a memorable gift package comprised of monthly letters from a unique character – a plant, a fruit, or an insect – describing his or her life, a gift card, and, if you choose, a special and exciting gift. Instead of just one present, your recipient will have something to look forward to every month of the year.

Imagine their delight when your friends and family members receive a monthly “letter home” from a curious and delightful creature. Depending on your choice of character, the recipient of this delightful gift will receive a whimsical and informative letter each month from a honeybee, maple tree, or another of our selection of creatures. These delightful letters home will enchant and surprise even the most demanding of people.

Learn More about Camp Nature!

The Camp Nature program starts at just $49.95 for the series of monthly letters plus a memorable gift card announcing your purchase and one special gift from your creature, such as a bale of cotton or a plain jar of preserves, syrup, or honey. For an additional fee, you may add fancier items such as an unusual silk scarf, a lovely cotton towel, or a decorative container of syrup.

This gift is perfect for the young and the young-at-heart. With each letter, your character will tell his or her story in fun-filled detail. Calvin Cotton might describe scenes on a plantation. Matilda Marmalade will tell you what life in the orange trees is like. And Berry Bush will regale you with his hopes and dreams as he grows up on the berry farm. You’ll love talking to the recipient each month, hearing what new and fun facts they’ve learned about their creature.
