Hey, Camp Aficionados!

It’s the last day of April which means summer camp is right around the corner for most of you. Just about any summer camper should have a backpack that they bring to camp whether you’re attending a weeklong trip or longer.

The type of backpack you get depends more on how much you expect to be outdoors, hiking trails and camping out. For extended bouts outside that last multiple days, an Internal Frame or External Frame Backpack is recommended; but for any single-day outing or even a quick overnighter, you can’t go wrong with any one of our Daypacks from High Sierra.

With a High Sierra Daypack, you can get out there and do what you love to do this summer. Hike, climb, run, ride your bike, or just relax on the beach in total preparedness and convenience with a Daypack on your back. These packs are sure to carry your needs.

Because Daypacks are typically lightweight themselves, these packs are intended to be used for lighter loads than the bigger, framed backpacks—which is why they’re meant to be used for only daylong activities. No more than ten to fifteen pounds in these guys!

Daypacks are usually soft-backed and frameless packs.

High Sierra’s Daypacks all have a waist belt to offer you the proper weight distribution you should have when carrying weights that range ten to fifteen pounds.

The waist belts are there to allow your camper to walk freely without the pack load hitting them in the back with every step they take. Waist belts should be worn snug on the hips without overlapping the pads. This way the weight of the pack is focused around the waist and takes some of the load off of the shoulders.

Check out our Daypacks from High Sierra and be prepared for your summer camp outings.

Hey, Camp Preppers!

As I mentioned on this blog a couple days ago, it’s very important to label your belongings at camp be it a water bottle, flashlight, toothbrush, etc.—whatever you may have, you want to make sure that you’re bringing the same items back home with you as when you first left for camp.

Could you imagine bringing home someone else’s water bottle? Or worse—their toothbrush?!

At Everything Summer Camp, we’ve been hard at work in between our busy summer camp seasons, developing and perfecting our processes for the products that we make right here in our own facility. Our New Stick On Name Labels are a great improvement from the original product—our Waterproof Name Labels.

Not a whole lot has changed about this product from one name to the next. You still get to choose exactly what you want your name labels to read, the labels are still just as powerfully waterproof as they always were, they’re even printed on the same glossy, waterproof pages that we used last year.

So what’s the difference between the Waterproof kids Name Labels from last year and our dazzling new Stick On Name Labels this year? We thought to offer colorized name labels. We basically dye the waterproof label sheets a variety of fun colors and offer four of our very own, cool designs as well—the Camo, Hex, Botanical Explosion, and Dots backgrounds.

These colorful labels are durable and stick to any hard, smooth, and clean surface. Have fun spelling out your name and anything else you want your labels to read and we’ll print it out on our shiny, variety of awesome backgrounds. Make sure all of your gear is tagged and decorated with these fun, NEW Stick On Personalized Name Labels!

Till next time, Campers!

Hey, Camp Aficionados!

If this isn’t your first time to camp then you probably already know how important it is to label just about everything that you take with you. That goes for water bottles, flashlights, a toothbrush, even your clothes—especially your clothes. Labeled clothing is actually required for lots of camps that offer laundry services to their campers.

That’s why we’ve been hard at work here at Everything Summer Camp, developing and improving the products that we make right here in our own facility. Our New Iron On Clothing Name Labels are our most revamped product!

Ironing name tapes onto clothes is tedious and time-consuming enough, so we made them faster and easier to transfer onto your kid’s camp clothing than our original, polyester labels (which are still available). Our New Name Labels are printed on a thin vinyl material that responds to heat quicker than the polyester labels. These labels become part of the shirt in no time.

You have a whole new palette of options to choose from for your font, an icon, and fun colors or cool designs for the background of your iron on labels like Camo, Dots, Hex, and Botanical Explosion.

As I already mentioned above, we make our name labels here in our own local shop. They get printed out on one of our wide-format printers. This printer also has a blade that it uses to follow a cut path that it’s received from the computer. It’s pretty impressive to see it in action.

After printing out your custom made labels and tracing out the cut path, we peel the outside top layer of vinyl to display a sheet of twenty-four Iron On Labels. Two sheets come in each set of forty-eight, or four sheets in a set of ninety-six.

Make sure your clothes go home with you after camp’s over.
