2. DIY a camp meal from the Alpengirl Cookbook
This recipe for Rice Bowls with Sassy Peanut Sauce from the Alpengirl Camp Cookbook is colorful, filling, and delicious, and you can whip it up from the comfort of your own home! You might even feel inspired to challenge your family to a "Best Presentation" Alpenolympic for the most beautiful bowl :)

Nothing says Alpengirl like a summer breeze. Open a window, take a deep breath, look at the sky, notice the natural world...and remember the magic a little fresh air and sunshine can create. For extra Alpengirl energy, while you're outside, stretch a little (or try out an Alpenyoga pose) or practice your best Roadside Dance Party moves!

4. Keep in touch
Unquestionably, camp friendships are one of the most important parts of Alpengirl adventures. Reach out to a camp friendwith a text or call, or video chat your camp buddies to make it feel like your tent mates never left your side. Or throw it back to Alpenessay writing day, and pull out a pen and paper to write a good old fashioned letter to a camp friend from afar.
5. Start a countdown
Its never too early to start thinking about next summer. Whether you like to get crafty with paper and markers or use an app or website, have fun counting down the days until Alpengirl 2021!
