CYO Camp Drawstring Bags (12 Pack)

A craft kids will actually use all summer long! CYO Camp Drawstring Bags let campers design their own bag with names, cabin colors, and fun camp designs—then use it to carry snacks, sunscreen, crafts, or swim gear. Perfect for camps, after-school programs, and classrooms that want a practical craft with a big impact.

A Camp Craft That Turns Into Real Gear Kids Use Every Day

These drawstring bags are the ultimate camp craft because they combine creativity with function. Kids decorate their own bag with their name, cabin number, favorite camp activities, and bold colors—then use it immediately. It’s a perfect way to build camp spirit while helping kids keep track of their belongings.

This project is also great for group programs because it’s easy to run and works for a wide age range. Younger kids can color simple designs and write their name, while older kids can create detailed lettering, patterns, and cabin logos. The result is a personalized keepsake that kids actually carry around—and take home at the end of camp.

Use these for first-week camp bonding, cabin identity projects, field trips, camp store alternatives, or a “design your own bag” craft station at any program.

Why Camps and Teachers Love Color-Your-Own Bags

Color-your-own bags are one of the best group crafts because they create something useful and memorable. Camps love them because they help with organization (everyone has a labeled bag), and teachers love them for special events and end-of-year keepsakes. They’re also low-prep—just hand out bags and decorating supplies, and kids stay engaged for a long time.

Plus, the finished bags make great take-home items that parents actually keep—because they’re practical, not just decorative.
