Hey, Everything Summer Camp Fans!

When you can’t find something in a grocery store, you flag down an employee and ask for help. You can’t really do that when shopping an online store; instead, we urge you to give us a call or use our site’s Live Chat when you need assistance. We love talking to our customers. That’s why, every year, we put a great effort into equipping ourselves with excellent representatives to answer your questions. Call us at 1-800-535-2057.

Welcome to the call center.   

A buzzing office with constant chatter throughout its open hours—which are extended in the busy season—you’ll find our seasonal crew at their stations in the call center taking calls and placing orders. Thanks to this helpful team, you can order over the phone with absolute convenience. The most work you’ll have to do is dialing 1-800-535-2057.

Along with taking orders over the phone, some of our representatives make calls to our customers, calling them back about their particular orders if a question happens to arise about a personalized product or any other reason that gives us hesitation toward fulfilling the order.

From keeping meticulous count in inventory to brimming with product knowledge, our call center representatives are quick on their feet and ready to answer your questions as soon as you ask. And when they’re not busy on the phones or helping customers on Live Chat, they stay occupied with stocked product packaging (which, this time of year, is a lot coming in and going out)!

But despite how busy we get at Everything Summer Camp, we always strive to keep our work environment fun—something that I think is reflected in their work. When you call us (at 1-800-535-2057), you’re sure to get a pleasant and enthusiastic greeting. So go ahead and give us a call when you visit our site. And, as always, thanks for reading.

And, oh yeah—did I mention our number is 1-800-535-2057?

Hey, Everything Summer Camp Fans!

Here at Everything Summer Camp, we offer a great deal of customizable products. We call them graphics. From our Name Labels to Call Me Cards, Nameplates and LidSkinz, we offer so many personalized products that we have a shop, separate from our main building, entirely dedicated to our graphic production.

Welcome to the print shop.

It’s an impressive place with a carousel for screen printing along with an industrial dryer, two embroidery machines, a Direct to Garment (DTG) printer, two heat presses, three wide-format printers and a whole lot more.

The summer graphics crew begins with design work on the computer to create your personalized order.  Working with programs like Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator, products like Nameplates, Stick-On Labels, and Duffel Bag Patches, each order is specifically designed and printed out on sublimation paper.

Sublimation paper is special paper that is used for the process of sublimation. What is sublimation? It’s the transference of ink from one medium to another (like a piece of paper to a nameplate), by means of heating the materials so much and so fast that the ink skips a liquid phase and turns straight to a gas. This causes the print to dye onto the initially blank nameplate so that it now bears YOUR design!

This time of year, we dedicate one of our three wide-format printers entirely to Clothing Name Labels. We get hundreds of these orders every week! It’s so many that it basically becomes one person’s job throughout the camp season!

We also create our own Clothing Stamps by means of light exposure to gel packs. We cover the gel pack with a negative that has everyone’s name printed on it. The exposure unit hardens the gel where the names designate, leaving the rest of the gel unexposed and unhardened. We simply clean off the excess gel and cut out our rubbery stamp names from the gel sheet we made.

Don’t forget about Lid Skinz! These awesome full color vinyl decals are designed completely by YOU and then printed from one of our other wide-format printers. We then send the prints through our laminating machine to apply a protective laminate that provides protection more durable than paint! The Lid Skinz are then applied to the tops of our trunks beneath the hardware. They look really cool!

As if that’s not enough, we also personalize Laundry Bags at the shop with one of our two embroidery machines.  All of our camp clothes are printed here as well by means of sublimation, embroidery, or screen-printing. Needless to say, it’s always a hoppin’ place in the summertime! Give us an order of your own to personalize and, as always, thanks for reading.

Hey, Camp Fans!

On behalf of Everything Summer Camp for Valentine’s Day, I expressed our love for our customers. And since we love our customers so much, I told you to stay tuned in the next following weeks to hear some of our great new enhancements we’re making to our customer service.

Here’s the second enhancement: Our…

Summer camp, while worth every penny, can get expensive. Here at Everything Summer Camp we respect and salute the smart shoppers of the world, the coupon clippers, and penny pinchers. With lots of retailers and outfitters marking up their prices exorbitantly, it takes a lot of effort in this day and age to save a buck.

We like to keep our prices at Everything Summer Camp reasonable. However, while we like to keep our prices fair, we don’t put anything past our smart shoppers. You may very well be able to find particular camping gear for a cheaper price. But when that happens, you can still shop Everything Summer Camp AND pay that lower price that you found elsewhere!

It’s our Price Match Guarantee. Simply said, we will not be beaten. Find a lower price somewhere else? Tell us and we’ll match it! That’s right, any identical product (which means the same size, color, style, and season) you find on an authorized retailer’s website—we’ll match the price, assuming that the product is in stock and available to purchase on our website as well as the website whose prices we’ll be matching.

Our Price Match Guarantee is just one more reason to make Everything Summer Camp your one-stop shop for all your summer camp shopping. Check out our ‘Price Match Guarantee’ page for further guidelines and easy step-by-step instructions of how to submit a Price Match request.

Happy shopping and, as always, thanks for reading!

Hey, Camp Fans!

Gather ‘round! Last week, on behalf of Everything Summer Camp for Valentine’s Day, I expressed our love for our customers. And since we love our customers so much, I told you to stay tuned in the next following weeks to hear some of our great new enhancements we’re making to our customer service.

Here’s the first enhancement.

We’re updating the Everything Summer Camp return policy. We like to think that we’ve always had a fairly fair return policy—after all, we understand that sometimes, when you’re shopping for camp in advance, you don’t always realize that you need to return something until a month or two after the fact—but we have news that makes it even better!

Our return policy will remain just as flexible to customers as it always has. In fact, we aren’t changing our policy at all. We’re just making it easier. See, in the past our return policy has been hassle-free as far as what the requirements are for returning a product; people DID, however, need to call us in order to go through the returning process.

Now you can do it all online.

We call it our No Sweat Returns for two reasons. First, we don’t want you to sweat being able to return something and, secondly, because it’s so incredibly easy to do. You don’t even have to call us!—not that we don’t want to talk to you! You can certainly still call us if you prefer, we love hearing from our customers; we just feel that it shouldn’t be your only option.

Now you can call if you want, live chat, email, or simply click here.

To our knowledge, we are the first summer camp outfitter to do online returns, which gives us the most flexible return policy of any summer camp outfitter! Isn’t the camp life great? As always, thanks for reading!

Hey, Romantics!

Nobody should be surprised—today, of all days—if you so happen to receive some kind of note, card, candy, or other small gift from someone along with a request that you be their Valentine. Sometimes it can be very clear as to just WHO this special someone is; other times, however, they might hide behind anonymity as a secret admirer, too shy to just come out and express their feelings.

Well, we aren’t shy whatsoever here at Everything Summer Camp. We’ll say it loud and say it proud. We LIKE you. We like you A LOT! When it comes to our customers, we’re pretty much head-over-heels and ready to bend over backwards, forwards, sideways—whichever way it is that’s sure to make you happy. So, on behalf of Everything Summer Camp, I ask you: Will You Be Mine?

Our feelings toward our customers should come as no surprise to you since we’re always trying to demonstrate our love through our jaw-dropping discounts, excellent service, incredible construction, and lickety-split speed.

Some people like to write their Valentines a love poem. Others go for romantic walks together and some plan on dining out for a special dinner tonight. We have a different way of showing our love, but it should reassure you, nonetheless, that our feelings our true.

At Everything Summer Camp we want every sale to last forever and, while we can’t make that happen, we can just continue to run sale after sale after sale, which is essentially what we’ve been doing since before the holiday season in December. We had sales all throughout December, January, and we had one sale at the beginning of this month.

Stay tuned throughout the next couple of weeks to learn what we’re doing to enhance our customer service and, as always, thanks for reading!
