Camp Doll Diaries, the FREE, daily, online summer camp for kids of all ages kicks off June 1, 2015. The Camp Doll Diaries team has been hard at work planning, but we really want this year’s camp to be ALL ABOUT YOU – our fabulous readers. That is why we let you design our logo.
SUBMIT A CAMP THEME
We have most of the camp themes already planned, but you all have GREAT ideas and we want YOU to pick some of the themes, too. Here’s how it will work:
1. EMAIL (don’t comment below) your TOP 3 camp theme ideas to TEAM@DOLLDIARIES.COM using the subject line CAMP THEMES no later than MAY 1, 2015.
2. We will collect all the recommendations and will select the TOP THEMES to include in our schedule.
Everyone is welcome to send in ideas, just realize, there is no way we can use them all.
BE A GUEST COUNSELOR
I have lost count of the number of guest counselor requests I have received so in fairness to everyone, this is how you can become a CAMP DOLL DIARIES Guest Counselor this year. (Open to ALL ages!)
1. EMAIL me at TEAM@DOLLDIARIES.COM using the the subject line COUNSELOR no later than JUNE 1, 2015.
2. In the email, pitch your camp idea to me – let me know what it will be, what supplies will be needed, and anything else I might need to know.
3. I will respond with feedback and a post due date.
4. If you DO NOT submit your guest counselor post by the due date I assign you, it will not be published.
5. Once your guest counselor post is published, you will be rewarded with a limited edition, signed Camp Doll Diaries t-shirt.
If you have any questions, feel free to ask in the comments below!
This is so cool! I just have one question: what do you mean by camp idea?
For example, if you have an idea for a craft or activity – say, how to make doll sized camp games – then that is what you would send me. Feel free to go back through Camp Doll Diaries from years past for ideas. You can’t use the same ideas again, but it may inspire you.
i was wondering if Throwback Thursday was going to be earth inspired or Nicki this week?
Hi Madelon – it will be Nicki, but I am still planning on sharing the Earth Day photos at some point.
Wow! I have some ideas swimming around in my head for possible themes. Being a Guest Counselor was fun, but I don’t think I can make that happen this year. But I can’t wait to see what who else gets to be one and what groovy ideas they come up with!
Can I submit a theme and submit a counselor request?
Hi again! I really want to submit a guest counselor idea, so I have a couple more questions:
Can I put more than one idea in my email?
The idea I have right now is a rather large one, so could I have more than one post for it(if you pick my idea)?
Thanks!

Hey Char just wondering, when are you sending us who entered the logo contest the email. Just wondering. Thanks bye!!
Hmmm …….
15DollsandCounting – of course!!
Yes, you may – send it on over!
This week! I promise 😉
No questions. Just looking forward to seeing all the great ideas and activities from you and the guest counselors. Thank you for Camp Doll Diaries.
Yay I’m so excited I will defiantly be sending in my ideas!
Wow! I’ll see if I have time to come up with ideas!
Oh my I’m like soooooo excited!!! This is my first year so it would be cool to be a counselor! I have a question. What is the difference between camp themes and camp counselors? Can’t wait for Camp Doll Diaries!
My dolls are reeeeeeeeeally looking forward to Camp Doll Diaries this year!! I’m excited for it, too!
Can’t wait for Camp Doll Diaries 2015! Maybe I’ll try and be a guest counselor 😉
Just sent my TT and camp theme ideas. 🙂
This year I can’t wait for camp doll diaries.
Char, what is the difference between camp counselor and camp themes?
I think I sent you a email but I’m not for sure.
For camp themes you are just sending in 3 ideas of themes – like horse week or something like that you think we should do. For Camp Counselor, it is actually coming up with an idea and full post for one day of camp. Does that help?
Yes, thank you very much! I will be sending in my camp theme ideas!
Just wondering – are the themes we suggest required to be new ones or is it acceptable to suggest a previously done theme as well?
Hi Stephanie – you can suggest a theme we have done before – the activities would be different anyhow.
I sent in my camp theme ideas! Just wanted to know if you received them! 🙂
If I am going to send both, should I send two separate emails?
Can I join the camp?
I was wondering, if I were to send in a craft idea, would I have to send in the instructions to make it?
Since I was a guest counselor last year, I can help answer some of these questions:
Last summer I showed Camp Doll Diaries how to make a raft , how to make canteens, and how to make gorp. The year before, I made walkie-talkies, and a pottery wheel. To submit a craft, you have to write out step by step instructions, along w/ a photo for each step. You also have to e-mail it to Char by a certain due date, so she can post it at the appropriate time. If you look up these crafts, you’ll get a good idea what I’m talking about.
Hope this helps!
Thanks for answering my question Char. Counting down to June 1st!
Whoops! I am so sorry! I just noticed you said to email three ideas. My bad! Well, that’s an idea anyhow;-)
Are we allowed to be camp counselor more than once?
I suppose, but in order to make sure everyone gets a chance, I think it would be best if you just submit one application.
Wow Sharry – you answered that even better than I could have! Thank you!
Yes, please – send two different emails so they don’t get overlooked.
I can’t wait to see all the great crafts hopefully mine will be on here!
is your email in all caps or is it just typed that way
It can be either way
