WWYD? Giving gift/tip at camp

DS is 5. He's been going to a camp that isnt quite traditional. It's a sports camp and has a very loose structure.

There are about 8-10 teen/college aged counselors and it's a family run business.

They've been great with DS & everyday they rave about DS being so good and they love having him there.

I would like to show my appreciation, but tipping each person is impossible.

Add to it that we are closing on a house & moving in on Tuesday so $ is tight.

Last day of camp is 8/31. Any ideas/suggestions?!?!

We were at a non-traditional camp also. Another mom and I sent over lunch for the staff from a local deli. It was basically a catering package of sandwiches, salads & drinks. The staff all really seemed to appreciate it and thought it was creative. Another mom I know sent over an edible arrangement.

Maybe you should see if you can go in with some other parents.

I'd like that, but I don't see anyone else. DS is usually 1st or 2nd kid there when I drop off. Kids are picked up thru out the day, so I seldom see other parents at pick up.

I may look into bringing bagels & cream cheese one morning.
