Spring is here and I’m thinking about summer camp crafts! Craft sticks are an awesome supply to start with because they’re dirt cheap and easy to find. I rounded up a whole list of popsicle stick craft ideas that are perfect for summer camp, varying from preschool up to pre-teen in complexity. A few of these would keep me busy too, I think, I’d love a little fairy door on our deck!
I’ve worked at a summer camp and planned summer camp activities in past jobs and also for my own kids – I like things that are simple, leave room for kids to get creative without a ton of adult help, and don’t require a bunch of specialty supplies. I think all of these hit the mark, let me know if I missed any that you’ve tried!

They are some seriously creative ideas. I think the superheroes are my favourites.
