Hey, Camp Folks!

We love surrounding ourselves with businesses similar to our family-like business here at Everything Summer Camp and that’s why you can find great selections of camping gear and other camp supplies from leading brand names such as Coghlan’s, TexSport, and Outdoor Products. Now available on our website is the SAFEGO brand of the SAFEGO Portable Safe.

Their Portable Travel Safe stores valuables off your person and absolutely secured. Lock your Safe around a permanent object whether you make a trip to the beach, the park, the gym, the poolside, or any other outing.

The founder of the SAFEGO family is Zach Perlman—fellow outdoors enthusiast—who decided to enjoy a visit to the beach one day just a few summers ago. When he arrived, he set up camp by laying out his beach towel and setting his valuables aside. Like so many of us at the beach, Zach stuffed his things inside his shoe, assuming that to be secure enough. He cooled off in the water and when he returned to his beach towel, he discovered somebody had stolen his wallet, keys, and phone!

Of course, Zach was bummed out over this unfortunate misdeed. It was this crummy moment, however, that led to the birth of SAFEGO and the Portable Travel Safe. Resolved to make lemonade from this sour life experience, Zach found inspiration to create a solution so this didn’t have to happen to him or anyone else ever again!

This safekeeping accessory is manufactured from lightweight, durable, and water/sand-resistant, high-impact plastic. And with rust-resistant, nickel plated zinc alloy lock hardware on the safe, the SAFEGO Safe is built to manage the wild conditions of the elements. It’s got a heavy-duty, plastic-coated steel cable made from material similar to a bike lock that easily attaches to a beach chair, table leg, park bench, or pretty much any fixed object.

Keep your keys, cash, wallet, camera, sunglasses, jewelry, or any other belongings safe with SAFEGO’s Portable Travel Safe. Check out our other Travel Accessories by clicking here and, as always, thanks for reading!

Hey, Water Lovers!

Activities and the summer sun make us sweaty and thirsty; a trusty water bottle is essential to your summer stay at camp. That’s why we like to offer only the best bottles for camp here at Everything Summer Camp. Names like CamelBak, Light My Fire, Outdoor Products, and more can all be found right here on our website. But today, we’re spotlighting the Avex brand in particular.

Featuring their own Autoseal and Autospout technologies, Avex has designed kid-friendly bottles that lend themselves perfectly to the adventuresome summer camp lifestyle. Offering the Brazos Autoseal as well as the Wells Autospout right here on our website, we want you to have the best throughout your time at camp.

Made up of a team of adventurers, the folks at Avex understand how important it is to camp with gear that you love. By learning through their own experiences out in the wilderness, they’ve been able to capture the things we want from our water bottles in their water bottles and deliver gear that you will grow to love!

They’re the company that cares and strives to make a difference. Compelled to do their part to protect the valuable water resources of our planet, the Avex brand policy states that “For every purchase of an Avex product, you give back to your planet and help preserve our water.” When you support Avex, you support our planet.

Avex water bottles stop any chance of leaks, spills, or contamination and they allow for convenient one-handed use.

Hey, Camp Folks!

Unless they’re going to a day camp, flashlights are essential to every camper’s packing list as you prepare for the summer camp experience. We always want to offer the most innovative, most child-friendly products in our camping gear shop, so we keep our eyes open when it comes to new products on the market. Our eyes bulged when we saw Blackfire’s Clamplights—the smartest flashlights available—and we knew we had to carry this brand.

Blackfire was founded in 2008 by an inventor named Bruce Ancona. Prior to Blackfire, Bruce had spent the previous 25 years as a consultant for the relevant products being developed by clients from all over the country and all over the world. Together, Bruce and his team are the inventors of more than 200 patents! But Bruce had the light bulb go on in his head with the bright idea of making his own clever products.

Clever products, indeed, Blackfire’s Clamplights are simple, yet genius. How do they conceive of such revolutionary modifications? They ask themselves questions to help them to understand what kind of tasks people are doing when they need a flashlight. And how can its design help to better serve the user?

Blackfire brings a high-end design to the traditional flashlight which essentially reinvents the 1899 invention so that it can stand upright on a flat surface, clamp onto whatever’s nearby, or be handheld as usual. It swivels in every which direction to provide you with light wherever you need it.

Blackfire is simply the best selection in flashlights that’s available on the market. That’s why you can be sure to find it offered on our website at Everything Summer Camp! Get an even closer look at their Clamplight Flashlight right here and, as always, thanks for reading!

Hey, Happy Feet—I mean, ‘Folks’!

We carry lots of different footwear from a number of brand names like Chaco, Northside, and Kamik. Merrell has made a name for themselves in the footwear industry and it’s not hard to understand why. But, in case you’re unaware of their splendor, we’re fixing the Everything Summer Camp spotlight on this deserving brand name to investigate into their history, passion, and purpose in the business that they’re in.

The business has been boasting some of the best footwear since 1981—six years prior to the birth of us here at Everything Summer Camp. They were immediately interested in creating a product that their customers could feel confident in no matter what the conditions are like outside. As their slogan states, “We make outside moments happen.”

With a passion for hiking in the outdoors, Randy Merrell always had it in the back of his head that he should put his expert craftsmanship toward making hiking boots. So, one day, he tried. Meanwhile, two former ski company executives Clark Matis and John Schweizer were looking to start up their own business. Randy presented his talents, Matis brought his athletic instincts and Schweizer contributed his marketing know-how.

The three came from three different backgrounds and therefore communicated in different ways. But despite challenges in teamwork, this little crew knew with 100% assuredness that they would become a leading brand name in the hiking boot industry. And more than just boots now, this team of three has built their business from the ground up.

“We wanted to make the best in the world. And…the rest is history,” says Matis. Get Merrell’s support for your every step and take a look at our excellent selection from this leading brand right here at Everything Summer Camp. And, as always, thanks for reading!
