Hey, Everything Summer Camp Fans!

We’ve got big things happening over here in Boyd, Wisconsin—the small town where Everything Summer Camp is based. When we first got our start nearly 30 years ago, things were pretty different. We didn’t even go by Everything Summer Camp. We were C&N Footlockers, named after the owners, Craig and Nancy who started this company right out of their home-garage.

With unmatched construction and excellent customer service, C&N built itself for certain success from the start. Naturally, when business increased, we also increased the colors and sizes of our camp trunks. We also ended up relocating for an increase in manufacturing and storage space.

It was around this time that we changed our name. And when business kept increasing, we relocated yet again to an even bigger building—the same building that we’re still in today! The initial 12,000 square feet building is now undergoing its second expansion to bring it to 31,000     square feet.

The biggest change that our expansion has made possible is bringing our whole team together under one roof. Our printshop is the home of our Graphics Department where we make all of our personalized products like Nameplates, Name Labels, Lid Skinz, Pillowcases, along with all of our camp clothing.

With our Graphics Department moving to our main building as well as doubling in size, packaging orders and getting them out the door will be able to happen even faster. You can expect this change to bring about more fun, new, and personalized products in 2017!

While this expansion will make so much possible, the expansion itself would not have been possible without all of you. You have truly fueled this awesome change for us! Thank you to all our summer camp families for helping us to grow! And, as always, thanks for reading!

Hey, Openhanded Holidayers!

Lots of effort goes into giving gifts this time of year—with so many holidays right around the corner and so many people eager to celebrate, the energy is charged in the winter air and everyone is out and about. People spend lots of time, thought, effort, (and typically money) on the things that they gift to one another. After all, when the time comes for gift opening, we want that moment to be just right.

Things don’t always go the way we had planned, though. Late deliveries are crummy but they happen—even when you’ve done everything in your power to make sure it arrives on time. We appreciate the importance of gift-giving here at Everything Summer Camp and we want to help make sure that your gifting goes off without a hitch this holiday season.
When you order from Everything Summer Camp, you can rest assured that your delivery will be on time; we want your gift-giving to go just the way you have it planned out. That’s why I’m calling your attention to our handy holiday map.

This helpful, color-coded map eliminates any confusion about how early you need to place your order on our website so it ships to you on time. Of course, delivery times differ throughout the country. But, personally, I don’t like procrastinating, so I like to urge people to order as early as they can—better safe than sorry!

That’s why I’m sharing the magic numbers of 1:00pm on December 17. That’s the time and date for everyone in the contiguous United States to go off of for guaranteed delivery by December 24.

December 17 may be early for some of you; Everything Summer Camp is based in northwestern Wisconsin, so if you live in Wisconsin, most parts of Minnesota, or another nearby area, you have the luxury of placing your order as late as 1:00pm on December 21.

Happy holidays, Everybody! As always, thanks for reading!

Hey, Holiday Shoppers!

Finding the right gift for the people you love is what this time of year is all about—no matter which holiday you celebrate generosity and gift-giving is an age-old tradition. Giving gifts is such a big part of our history when this time of year rolls round—it’s impossible to overlook. It’s always a treat to receive a gift from friends or family, but giving gifts is just as rewarding.

Times may change, but the traditions don’t stop—they just go with the flow. Shoppers are getting smarter and trending store sales are abundant in the holiday season. In fact, it seems to have made gift shopping even more fun. Hunting down the best deals in town and comparison shopping has applied not just creativity, but also strategy, to the venture.

Many store sales start offering in-sanely low discounts right about now. We’re not hesitant in the least to jump on the trending wagon and offer some pretty great deals ourselves here at Everything Summer Camp.

Coming in at 10% off you can find practical products like a dozen of our Duffel Bags and the warm Bunkhouse Plaid Wool Blanket discounted too.

Our customers love our ‘The More You Spend, The More You Save’ holiday deal, so we bring it back every year. It’s works like this: spend over $100 on an order, you’ll receive a $10 Gift Certificate, shipped along with your order. If you purchase over $200, you’ll get a Gift Certificate for $20. $300 will get you $30, $400 will get you $40, and so on. As always, orders over $99 are shipped for free.

And, on top of all our great deals, we’re doing our Facebook Daily Gift-Aways. Going on now until December 15, we’re posting a gift on Facebook. Just ‘like’ us and share our post and you’ll be automatically entered into the drawing for that gift.

Camp trunks, accessories, as well as an endless list of camping supplies and other gear make great Christmas gifts. This Holiday Sale lasts until December 15, so act now! You don’t want to let deals like these pass you by! Happy shopping and, as always, thanks for reading!
