The Camp Casco twist on Secret Santa

Every child ages 3–17 gets to give a gift and receive two:

Give: Your child becomes a Secret Santa for another child. They’ll receive their recipient’s wish list and a $100 Target gift card, shop with your family, then wrap their gifts at the party.
Receive: Your child receives up to $100 in gifts from their own Secret Santa, plus a gift of their choosing ($25–$50) from Amazon.com. This gift arrives at the party already wrapped.
Meet Santa: Santa will be stopping by our party room!

How To Sign Up

Spaces are very limited, and advance registration is required. The registration form asks for two things for each child:

Wish list: a few things your child loves, which their Secret Santa will use to shop.
Amazon gift: a link to one Amazon.com item priced $25–$50.

Please complete all gift fields carefully. We cannot accept edits after you submit your registration. If your Amazon item becomes unavailable for any reason, our team will reach out to choose an alternative.
