Creepy, crawly, and out of control. Remote control, that is. Meet this week's frightfully fun finds!
🐍 RC Serpent — Sssseriously Fun! Slither into mischief with this remote-controlled reptile.
🕷️ RC Spider — Eight Legs. Endless Laughs. Creepy-crawly fun that's perfect for silly scares.
🚙 Monster Jam Trucks — Monster-Sized Fun! Big wheels, epic races, and thrills at every turn.
Find them at your local CAMP store! Selection and availability vary by store. While supplies last.
Some toys entertain. Others become entire worlds.
Calico Critters have inspired imaginative play for decades with beautifully detailed animal families, cozy homes, and charming little accessories. Every new character is another chapter waiting to be imagined.
Why we love it: Beautifully made collectibles that inspire endless storytelling. Best for: Ages 3+.
Cute enough to display. Squishy enough to squeeze.
We don't make the rules — kids just love squishy tiys. Our assortment are soft, squeezable, and absolutely irresistible to anyone under the age of ten (and honestly, several people over it). Collectible, giftable, and the kind of thing that starts as one and somehow becomes twelve. You've been warned.
Why we love it: Equal parts adorable and addictive. A perfect add-to-cart impulse buy that kids will actually treasure.
The toy that's been cool since your childhood and somehow got even cooler.
Ask any CAMP Counselor and they'll tell you — nothing brings a group of kids together faster than a hacky sack. No batteries, no instructions, no screen required. Just toss it, kick it, and watch even the most reluctant kids get competitive within thirty seconds. Genuinely fun for ages 5 and up, and one of those rare toys that works just as well in a backyard as it does in a living room on a rainy Tuesday.
Why we love it: Simple, social, and endlessly replayable. The original screen-free obsession. Best for: Ages 5+
The internet has opinions. Your kid has opinions. Your kid’s friend has very strong opinions. We get it.
Here’s the thing: we’re also a toy store. A really good one. And our CAMP Counselors have a front-row seat to what kids actually love. They’ve watched hundreds of kids pick up hundreds of toys, play with them, come back to them, and occasionally refuse to put them down.
They’ve got the credentials. And by credentials, we mean hundreds of tiny, very opinionated toy testers.
