Materials Included:
Each kit is shipped in a sturdy Sterilite tub that can be reused to store materials during camp and throughout the year. The page pockets included in the kit are designed to eliminate the need for making full sets of copies for each group of students. As they write with dry erase markers on the heavy-duty plastic, the original copy stays untouched underneath, ready for the next group as soon as the pocket is wiped clean.
