Summer Playdate
Cards

Don't let summer break mean losing touch. Give your child cards to hand out on the last day of school, at camp, or at the pool -- so the friendships that matter keep going all summer long.

First card free. No credit card required.

Why Summer Playdate Cards?

Because three months is a long time to go without seeing your best friend.

School Friends Scatter

When school lets out, kids lose daily access to their closest friends. Without a way to connect, those friendships fade. Summer playdate cards give parents an easy way to stay in touch.

New Friends Everywhere

Summer camp, swim team, vacation programs -- kids meet new friends all season. Cards make it easy for them to share their info without you scrambling for a pen at the pool.

Fill the Long Days

Summer days are long. Playdates break up the routine, get kids off screens, and give parents a break too. Cards make it simpler to set them up with families you actually want to spend time with.

What to Include on a Summer Playdate Card

Keep it simple and fun. Here's what works best.

Your child's first name

So the other family remembers who the card came from.

Contact via QR code

Links to a secure page where the other parent can reach you.

Neighborhood or area

Helps the other family know if you're close enough for a summer hangout.

A summer-themed message

Something fun and seasonal that gets kids excited about staying in touch.
