A daily letter to your kid at camp. AI builds it. You make it yours.
Set it up once. Every morning, one sentence builds the whole letter — last night's ballgame, the joke, the logistics — then hands it to you to edit, sign, and send. You're always the last word.
Yesterday's ballgame with bunk-worthy banter, a dad joke, a note from a little sibling, and a message from you — fresh every day, never the same twice.
Subject: Eli Klein
Day 5 already — you've got your bunk, your counselor, and you know which lunch to show up early for. So proud of you!
Four ingredients a kid actually wants to read.
The game
Their team's latest score, with trash-talk-lite they'll repeat to the whole bunk.
The joke
A clean dad joke or riddle — never the same one twice in two weeks.
The sibling
A few sweet lines in your little one's voice — drafted from what you tell it they did, ready for you to tweak.
You
Your note to them. AI hands you a first line and a question that fits the week — you make it yours before it sends.
The part that makes it feel alive: it keeps a private log of every letter — so it never recycles a joke or asks the same question twice, and the themes shift as camp goes on, from “settling in” to “what trip is next?” to “almost home.” That memory lives on your device (or in the skill's own log file) — never on our servers.
This is what lands in the draft.

Hey Eli!! ☀️
Day 9 already — you're officially a camp veteran now. You know the shortcut to the lake, you know which night is pizza night, and your bunk knows you're the one to beat at gaga. So proud of you, buddy.
The Yankees walked it off 5–4 in the 10th last night — bases loaded, two outs, and Judge just parked it. The kind of game where you forget to breathe. Tell your bunk the good guys don't quit. 😎
Why did the baseball player bring string to the game? So he could tie the score!
ELI!!! I lost my front tooth and the tooth fairy left me TWO whole dollars so now I'm basically rich. I'm saving you a gummy worm. Come home soon I miss you the most. — Goldie 💛
Camp's flying by, huh? I keep catching myself about to text you stuff and then remembering you're off being a legend in the woods. Quick one: who's your favorite counselor so far, and did you ever try the climbing wall? Counting down to our call on Sunday. Love you, bud.
Love, Dad
LOG: joke="…brought string… tie the score"; question="favorite counselor / climbing wall"
history_eduThat last line is the memory at work — tomorrow it won't reach for the same joke or ask the same question.
Drafted in seconds. Then a parent edited the Goldie and Dad lines into their own words before sending — same as you will.
Two minutes to set up. Ten seconds a day after that.

history_eduNo-repeat memory
0 loggedAfter each letter, paste it back here (or just its LOG: line). The builder remembers every joke and question so future prompts say “never repeat these.” Stored only in this browser.
Prefer Claude on a computer?
Install the packaged skill instead — it saves your profile to a file and runs every day with one sentence.
Save it once so it's ready every morning.
Don't paste the prompt fresh each day — park it somewhere it'll wait for you. Then your whole morning is one sentence.
Save it as a Project
- 1Open Claude → Projects → new project, name it “Camp Letters — [child].”
- 2Paste your prompt into the project's instructions.
- 3Each morning, open the project, start a chat, and say “write today's letter.”
tips_and_updatesTurn on the Google/Gmail connector and it can drop the letter straight into your drafts.
Save it as a Custom GPT
- 1ChatGPT → Explore GPTs → Create (or use a Project).
- 2Paste your prompt into the Instructions, keep it private.
- 3Open it each morning and say “write today's letter.”
tips_and_updatesChatGPT's Tasks can even nudge you at the same time each day to run it.
A saved Project or Custom GPT also remembers your past letters in its own thread — a nice backstop to the no-repeat memory in the builder above.
Two ways to run it — pick how hands-off you want to be.
The prompt above works in any AI chat. If you want it fully automated — drafting straight into your inbox — run it in an AI agent that can connect to your email. Either way, you only ever press send.

You don't need a coding tool for any of this — Camp Letter is for a parent, not a programmer. A normal AI chat (Claude or ChatGPT) covers the everyday case; an AI assistant with email access does the rest.
Because this is exactly what I do — just usually for revenue teams.
I build small, sharp AI tools that take a fiddly human job and make it one sentence. A daily camp letter is a charming version of the same thing I build for go-to-market teams every week: capture the workflow, kill the repetition, ship something people actually use.
If your company's revenue engine feels held together with manual steps and spreadsheets, that's my day job.
