We love hearing stories about how people use stamps in their everyday life, but we are equally excited when we hear of ways stamps have worked their way into adventures with our family and friends. Imagine our joy in learning about PubPass, a curated bar and brewery passport program, which raises money for Feeding America with every pint you enjoy, and the National Park Stamp program, which helps the conservation effort. Not to mention all the other ideas we have seen or tried over the years.
Fun Ideas for Passport Stamps
Creating stamps for events can be an enjoyable and original way to capture memories. Making personalized booklets and collecting specialty stamps from multiple places encourages event participants even more throughout the various activities like our friends at Now Listen Here. Turning these events into more captivating experiences for everyone.
Food or Beer Crawl
Like our friends at PubPass, using stamps at every stop during a food or beer crawl can turn a tour around town into a passport book experience and a discovery of new craft beers. As you visit each restaurant, brewery, or bar collect branded stamps when entering, recording each destination. Checkout the PubPass website and the different cities that are participating in their passport books and enjoy a few craft beers on your next adventure.
Scavenger Hunt
As you complete each task or activity of a scavenger you can collect stamps to demonstrate your completion of that item. Collecting stamps at individual activities is an inviting way to mark each step before reaching the end. Having stamps as a reward for each stop makes the accomplishment of completing the hunt more exhilarating.
Summer Camp Stations
Making stations with specialty stamps can encourage campers to participate in the many activities available to them. If collecting stamps for each craft, game, or task was part of the fun, campers are encouraged to reach beyond their comfort zone. Participating in new activities can excite them and give a sense of achievement. Not to mention adding some thrill to trying new things.
National Park Passport books and cancellation stamps
When exploring the stunning national parks throughout the country you can participate in collecting a passport stamp at every park. Every visit can be made more memorable by commemorating your trip with a specialty designed stamp from each national park store which includes the date of your visit. After admiring the beauty of the park and its natural and remarkable views make a stop in the visitor’s station for your stamp. Passport books are a way to support conservation efforts and make a unique keepsake of all your national park stops. We know we are biased at The StampMaker but we LOVE the National Park Passport Stamp program.
What Is a National Park Stamp (And Why You Should Care)
A national park stamp is a specifically designed stamp that marks the date, park name, and the city location for each unique national park. These cancellation stamps are available for the national parks program to encourage travel to all the national parks. Collect each stamp by stopping in the park visitor center, these exclusive stamps illustrate the landscapes and individuality of the different parks. Collecting all the stamps at every stop can be an engaging way to interact with every park you experience. These stamps help support the conservation efforts by increasing awareness, encouraging more visits, creating stronger connections, engaging, and educating the public about the diversity amongst the parks.
