What to Pack Your Child for Summer Camp

Summer camp! Do you have plans to send your little one to either a day camp or spend the night camp? I remember sleep away camp when I was growing up. I was able to go two years in a row and it was so much fun. Packing was probably the hardest part. We didn't have a washer or dryer on site, and it was a two week stay. Plus, it was in Georgia and no air conditioning, so we had to pack a LOT if we didn't want to wear sweaty clothes multiple times. Since I have some experience, I thought I would share what to pack your child for summer camp, so you know you are preparing your child to make the most out of summer camp.

What To Pack for Summer Camp


LABEL EVERYTHING! Use stickers, permanent marker, stamps, sew-on labels, iron-on labels, etc. This is the MOST important thing. We had a kid on our trip that didn't bring half of their things and was just use to "borrowing" whatever was around at their house. So, they "borrowed" someone else's toothbrush and my hairbrush until we told one of our camp leaders and they ran to the store to grab them some extras. The next year I packed an extra toothbrush just in case. But the kid didn't touch anyone's items if they had a name on it, so label everything! Name Bubbles sells quality labels that are reusable and washable which are environmentally friendly while being cute and practical. The best part is they can used for years and years to come. These reusable labels can withstand any dishwasher, bottle warmer, or microwave, so label away because these reusable Write-On Labels are going to make your camper the most prepared this year. Name Labels makes it easy with custom camp labels.
