Hey, Camp Folks!

When you send your child off to summer camp, you want them to get the most out of every awesome minute they’re away—not wasting time frantically searching for bug spray as their cabin mates wait to go on their hike. Set your child up for success with C&N Packing Cubes and bring organization as well as form to their footlocker. Our Packing Cubes make things easier to find, save on valuable packing space, and keep clothes from wrinkling!

We used to offer packing cubes from other manufacturers when we first added them to our trunk accessories. There was decent demand for them, but they wouldn't fit inside our trunks in any effective configuration, inevitably creating dead space in pockets of the trunk. We soon realized the limitations of these products and set out to create the best travel cubes for summer camp.

To do so, we really did our homework. We put together exhaustive research, customer feedback, and the best features of existing packing cubes on the market. After applying all our discoveries, we did much more than just optimize the way they fit inside our steel trunks and soft trunks; we gave them all the features needed to make packing and living out of your trunk as convenient as possible.

What kind of features?

Our Cubes have mesh tops and labeling windows so campers know exactly what’s inside without having to break it open and dig through the contents. They also feature convenient grab handles so they offer easy grabbing, carrying, and hanging options.

On top of all that we recently started offering our new sizes so you can optimize the organization and storage space of our Packing Cube Sets. With various sizes and vibrant colors to choose from, these Packing Cubes ensure that campers stay organized and make the most of their summer camp experience.

Here at Everything Summer Camp, the home of C&N Footlockers, we’re the only trunk manufacturer to offer packing cube accessories for our trunks—sized optimally to fit specifically inside our steel trunks as well as our Pop Up Soft Trunk. We also offer more accessories for our trunks than any other manufacturer. Thanks for reading, Camp Folks. Happy packing and, as always, Happy Camping!

Hey, Camp Families!

Summer camp is a time for adventure, but between opening and closing day, there's often a logistical challenge: moving your trunk from the parking lot to the cabin and back again. This task can be daunting, especially when your trunk is fully packed and the terrain is rough. Enter the C&N Wheel Away System—a revolutionary solution designed to make transporting your trunk the easiest part of your camp experience!

The C&N Wheel Away System features large, 4″ PVC wheels that provide exceptional maneuverability across various terrains, from gravel paths to uneven campground surfaces. With this innovative system, campers can effortlessly move their fully-packed footlocker from point A to point B without breaking a sweat.

But how did the idea for the Wheel Away System come about? It all started with a simple question: how can we provide campers with the convenience of wheels without the risk of damage?

Before the Wheel Away System, other trunk makers offered trunks with built-in wheels. While this provided convenience, it also posed a significant problem: the wheels were prone to damage considering the rough and tumble trunks endure as they’re tossed into car trunks or stowed away on airlines. With the wheels permanently affixed, damaged wheels would leave the whole trunk unusable.

We set out to develop a solution that would offer campers the flexibility to have wheels when they needed them and remove them when they didn't. Thus, the C&N Wheel Away System was born!

Now, campers can easily attach the Wheel Away System to their trunk when it's time to move and remove it when they arrive at their destination. This innovative approach not only eliminates the risk of damaged wheels but also enhances the overall versatility of the trunk.

So, the next time you're gearing up for summer camp, don't forget to equip your trunk with the C&N Wheel Away System—the easiest way to transport your trunk wherever adventure takes you. Thanks for reading, Camp Fans! And, as always, Happy Camping!

Hey, Organized Camp Folks!

With everyone gathered outside the cabin, waiting to embark on a day-long trip through the rugged wilderness, a lone camper is still inside desperately searching through her gear and camp supplies for her bug spray—the pressure of holding up the company mounting. Just as she started to consider giving up, a fellow camper came back for something and noticed the first camper in distress.

“What do you need?” The second camper said. “Bug spray? Check it out. I have some extra you can use in my organizer.” She went into one of the many pockets on the Bunk Organizer that hung from her camp bunk and took out her surplus spray.

While it may not be listed on most camp packing lists, the Bunk Organizer has revolutionized the way campers keep their essentials tidy and accessible. With 16 pockets of various sizes, it's designed to hang vertically on the foot or side of a bunk, providing a convenient storage solution for all kinds of items you want handy.

The idea for the Bunk Organizer was born in the early 2000s when Matt, the Sales Director here at Everything Summer Camp, visited camps and noticed campers struggling to keep accessible all the items they want to keep close by over the course of the night: books, diaries, flashlights, bug spray, a watch, footwear, water bottle, inhaler, eyeglasses, or what have you!

He immediately recognized the need for a more versatile solution.

When Matt returned from his trip, he explained the difficulty he witnessed to our product development team when it came to these ‘nightstand items’. The team put their minds to the situation, conceptualized a new product, and created a solution to the struggle.

Matt has since seen the Bunk Organizer in action and can attest to its convenience at summer camp. “The Bunk Organizer has transformed cabin living for campers!” he told me. “It’s such a practical accessory that makes life away from home work a little better and saves them time from searching for misplaced items.”

Hey, Camp Folks!

If you’ve ever shopped our site before, then you already know—we’re Everything Summer Camp, your one-stop shop for everything on your child’s camp packing list. However, when we first started making trunks in 1987, we didn’t offer any camping gear or other trunk accessories at all.

Several years later we added wheels and then came our nameplates and padlocks a little further down the line. And for a long time these were the only three accessories we offered.

It was 20 years on before we added another accessory and the first one we added was the Snap-On Duffle which was our first product all about summer camp. Back then we had never sold a product that focused completely on summer camp. In fact, we weren’t even called Everything Summer Camp yet.

This duffle, however, was designed as an extension of a camper’s camp trunk to accommodate kids whose packing lists were just a bit too big for our trunks. Our original design for the Snap-On Duffle was only compatible with our Traditional Steel and Designer Trunks and we had another duffel—the Piggy Back—which was compatible with our Pop Up Soft Trunks.

No other duffel attaches perfectly to your camp trunk like our Snap-On Duffle found only here at Everything Summer Camp—the home of C&N camp trunks! Common for moving bulkier items like pillows and other bedding, this accompanying duffel is as simple as can be! It snaps onto our camp trunks within seconds so you can move both pieces as one!

Make transportation to and from your summer camp cabin as easy as possible with this cool idea that moves your trunk and duffle as one unit. Thanks for reading. And, as always, Happy Camping!
