Low sugar treats/snacks for camp

[Anonymous]

For snack at camp, we pack fruit and one other thing. My kid wants a sweet and I don’t want something that has too much sugar. What do you pack for your kid as a “treat” or snack at camp?

dried mango slices, freeze dried strawberries, fruit leathers - all from Trader Joe's. And frankly - 90% of all cereal bars are just candy in disguise. Try 'Kind' bars.

Mines happy with like 5m&ms or similar - they just want something fun to have in there and don't care if its a lot of it

Homemade muffins, fruit bars (like That's it), the occasional fun size candy bar.

My camp does not allow kids to bring outside food or receive food in packages.

This is like posting and saying “I don’t have children.”

Z bars are lower in sugar. They have a few different flavors.

I give a couple cookies. I don’t deny my kids “fun” food, I just limit the quantity.

We do z bars and fruit leather. DC loves them and they get eaten every day

How old is your kid? Mine is in elem and wants what the other kids have.
I’ve been giving her 2 Oreos recently.

This us why age matters.
This would be fine for a 5yo.
My 11yo would not be impressed with raisins as her “ treat” peer pressure is real,

Packages? You send packages to day camp?

Small treats I’ve given this summer
-a Newmans Own “oreo” with a few Unreal chocolate balls.
-Annie’s Graham bunnies in birthday cake
-a zbar or a mini kind bar
-dried mango

If I’m going to give a treat I’d rather use a brand that’s organic and less artificial at least - no dyes/quality chocolate etc.
