    Camping Tradition: The Gummy Worm Fairy

    Last updated: Nov 18, 2022 · This post may contain affiliate links · 2 Comments

    camping-tradition-gummy-worm-fairy this awesome idea!

    Maybe its not such a good thing that a lot of our traditions revolve around food. Especially when you’re trying to be healthy. Oh well. This tradition is a fun one that had some certain motivation behind it. I guess it could be improvised with something healthy, but it might just not have the same effect.

    On our week-long camping trips, we had a special visitor called the “Gummy Worm Fairy” (GWF). The GWF would make a visit to our tents sometime between brunch and the afternoon. If our sleeping bags were “made” and our stuff fairly organized, she would leave gummy worms on our pillows. And if they weren’t, we either didn’t get as many or we would have to wait another day to get some.

    Back in the day, in our excitement for the fairy's visit, we would even make little baskets or bird nests for the fairy to leave the worms in. As funny as it sounds, it was one of our favorite traditions and I’m sure it kept our parents happy!

    How-to: 

    On the first day of camp, announce the "Gummy Worm Fairy" will be visiting every day after breakfast. The GWF will leave gummy worms on the pillows of those who have made their beds and picked up their belongings.
