Hey there, Camp Preppers!

Summer camp means spending your days running around outside, going for nature walks, hiking through rough trails, sitting around a campfire, and sleeping under the stars; all that time outside means that you’re going to need some protection from all the various, biting and clawing insects that make claim to the outdoors this time of year.

It’s not just the bugs that you want to protect yourself against in the summertime, it’s what they could be carrying that you really want to avoid. With just one bite from the wrong mosquito you could end up with West Nile Virus. Ticks are pretty difficult to avoid as well, which can carry Lyme Disease—a very unpleasant illness when it remains untreated.

For this summer’s buggy season, arrive at summer camp prepared with trusty bug repellent from Everything Summer Camp. We have you covered with Repel® 100% DEET, Repel® Insect Repellent Gear Smart Formula™ , Repel® Insect Repellent Family, and Cutters Backwoods. From ticks, mosquitos, chiggers, and gnats, to fleas, and any other bothersome bugs out there, this repellent should keep the bugs around you in check.

Unlike some other bug repellents, Everything Summer Camp’s Repel and Cutters products provide a powerful protection that doesn’t have to be reapplied every few hours. These bug repellents keep the bugs away for at least ten hours at a time.

So don’t allow yourself to become an easy victim of serious illnesses carried by random mosquitos, ticks, and other irritating insects. Get yourself a few bug repellents and stay safe during your summer camp experience. Don’t spend your summer inside, scratching at bites, and sick in bed! Get Repel or Cutters repellents from Everything Summer Camp and enjoy your summer to its fullest!

Hey there, Blog Buddies!

On today’s blog post, I’ll be discussing the importance of using some sort of sunblock when you’re out having fun in the sun this summer at camp. Protection against damaging ultraviolet (UV) rays from the sun is always a good idea; I’ll also be talking about what sort of harm such dangerous UV radiation can end up doing to your skin.

First of all, the use of some sort of sunscreen or sunblock is always a good idea. Any kind of lotion, spray, gel, or other type of topical cream that’s made to absorb or reflect UV rays is only going to do you good. Watch what you’re buying, though. You don’t want to mistake a tanning lotion for sunscreen. Indoor tanning lotions, like tanning oils are made to speed up the tanning process by intensifying UV rays. It’s very unhealthy for your skin and leaves you more susceptible to sun damage.

Your skin, among many other living things, can get a sunburn. That’s right, your skin is a living thing—a tissue to be specific—and when it gets sunburned, it’s suffering a form of radiation burn. When you get sunburned, your skin tends to grow reddish and hot to the touch. You may also undergo cases of general fatigue and slight dizziness.

Excessive and unprotected exposure to UV radiation is most definitely life-threatening. It takes a pretty extreme case, but even so, UV rays are no joke! Overexposure to UV radiation is the number one, leading cause of skin tumors and skin cancer!

Luckily, at Everything Summer Camp, you can find a plethora of trustworthy sunblock—not misleading sun tan lotion—actual sunblock that offers the protection you’ll need for your stay at summer camp. We carry all sorts of lotions, sprays—even wipes, to make for a very easy application. We also have technical tees from Columbia that offer great UV protection.

So go have your fun in the sun this summer—just make sure you’re protected from harmful sun rays. That’s all for today, bloggers!

Hello, Camp Fans!

Today I want to talk to you about all of the different laundry bags you can find at Everything Summer Camp; we carry a variety of fabrics, styles, and brand names. First there’s the classy laundry bag for camp clothes—Mint, then the fun Bliss brand laundry bag, we carry Nylon laundry bags of different colors and patterns, we have cool Thread Art Fashion laundry bags, and a basic Mesh laundry bag.

First of all, I’ll tell you about our Mint and Bliss brand laundry bags. These bags are very stylish and very cool with their fun colors and complimentary patterns. These bags are high quality and definitely worth the higher price. However, one thing to keep in mind when using these bags is that your clothes won’t dry as quickly inside these nylon and polyester bags as they would in, say, our Mesh laundry bag.

Our Nylon and Thread Art Fashion laundry bags too make for very cool, very fun designs to sport on your laundry bag. The colors are cool and the patterns are fun. Stitched with detail, these bags certainly make excellent choices as laundry bags for your camp clothing. But again, keep in mind that with the fun pattern and styles, you are sacrificing dryability and breathability for your clothing.

As you’ve probably already gathered at this point, if all you’re looking for out of the laundry bag you take to summer camp is for it to be practical, our Mesh laundry bag at Everything Summer Camp is the one to bring. It’s a storage space for dirty clothes and a simple means of transit for your laundry. It may not have any cool patterns or fun colors, but it’ll get your clothes dry quicker and do the job just the same.

Until next time, Summer Camp Fans!

Hidie-ho, Summer Camp Fans!

If you’re going to camp this summer, you probably already know that it’s a good idea to label most of your things from your clothes to a water bottle, your toothbrush…the list goes on. Luckily you can find Iron On Clothing Name Labels, Stick On Waterproof Name Labels, Clothing Stamps, and Markers right here at Everything Summer Camp.

Labeling your clothes and other belongings is definitely a necessary evil of camp, especially for camps that offer laundry services. But most importantly, labeling is the best way to ensure that what you take to camp is what you bring home after camp.

When it comes to labeling, people want to get the most efficient method. Unfortunately, there is no one labeling method that’s the best. It all depends on what you’re trying to label. That’s why we offer a handful of different labeling items at Everything Summer Camp.

If speed and efficiency is the only aspect you care about, then the Clothing Stamp is definitely the method for you. Our stamps let you brand a surface with your name in a literal second! With black ink, however, you can only hit your light-colored clothing and other camp gear.

For all your dark camp clothes we have Iron On Clothing Name Labels. We offer our Basic Iron On Clothing Name Labels which are just black print on white polyester tape. New this year, we are now offering our New Iron On Clothing Name Labels. Printed on vinyl decal material, these labels are printed in full color with fun backgrounds and cool patterns of your choice.

For oddball items like shoes as well as clothes, we offer Artline Laundry Markers. It’s definitely not the most efficient method, but it is the easiest. If you wish you could write your dark clothing, we offer the Sharpie Paint White Marker. This water-resistant, oil-based, quick-drying marker works great for labeling clothing.

Last but not least, we have our Stick On Name Labels. These waterproof stickers are printed with a color or pattern of your choice. These labels are great for water bottles, toothbrushes, shampoo bottles, etc.

Our camp labels are perfect for your belongings at camp and help you to make sure you bring it all back home with you when camp is over. Until next time, Camp Fans!
