Within the next 24-28 hours I will be posting a series of boxes
created by a group of kids from a summer camp I am director of. I
introduced these kids to the idea of letterboxing, explaining to them
what it was about, creating a "dummy" box to show them a bit about
the hunt and how one might write clues. They have created their own
boxes, with silhouette stamps that they designed and cut from "fun
foam". They have hidden the boxes and written clues. The counselors
have allowed the children to "do their thing". (Wait 'til you see
the wood they have mounted them on!) The children range in age from 6
to 9 or 10 and are very excited about their creations. The boxes are
all within a fairly small area. I am hoping that if any of you out
there are going to be boxing on Mount Desert Island in the next three
weeks you will consider finding these boxes. You would thrill the
kids if you stamped in! I think there are 20(!!!) of them. They will
only be around for 3 weeks, as we will pull them on the last day of
camp (August 20) so that the kids can take them home. My thanks in
advance to anyone who can stamp in. You will make some very sweet
kids really happy!
