Hey, Happy Campers!

Standing alongside such trusted brands like GoGirl, Burt’s Bees, and Clean Trek, we’re proud to now offer the brand in today’s Everything Summer Camp spotlight—MaskIT LLC. This addition to our Toiletries Department not only brings convenience to camp, but brings a less-wasteful, earth-friendly alternative to toilet paper when it comes to disposing pads or tampons. Environmentally-conscious and responsible for their ecological footprint, MaskIT creates products made from a compostable Biofilm that aims to reduce the amount of toilet paper that accompanies the 20 billion pads and tampons that wind up in American landfills each year.

Being the environmentally-minded person that she is, Shallan Ramsey—mother of three girls and founder of MaskIT LLC—hated the wastefulness of using toilet paper to dispose of her pads and tampons. Once she started thinking that there must be a better way, she set out to devise her own method.

MaskIT Pouches eliminate the need for toilet paper, as you can use the ‘puppet method’ with your hand inside the Pouch which starts out already “inside-out”. The pouches seal shut with an  adhesive closure that guarantees no leaking. These Pouches are super practical with their soft-to-the-touch material, easy-use, and sanitation. They block all odor and are watertight. They’re completely opaque too, so the contents in the pouch remain unseen.

All packaging from MaskIT is produced by Imperial Box Company from Gardena, California who creates paper using the most environmentally-conscious methods and prints using soy-based ink with water-based aqueous coatings. MaskIT packaging is 100% recyclable.

As much good as MaskIT does for the planet, they try to do just as much for the people of the community as well by giving back to them and spreading good. You can check out more about these fine folks on their own website right here or send a message directly to them by clicking here. Get MaskIT for your camper’s convenience at summer camp and, as always, thanks for reading.

Howdy, Camp Folks!

We’re proud to carry such excellent brand names as Burt’s Bees, Coghlan’s, and VioLife. Today, we’re spotlighting our latest addition of brands to our Toiletries Department—Clean Trek—a brand dedicated to personal hygiene products that create some convenience for summer campers during their wilderness adventures.

Fans of the outdoors themselves, the folks that built Clean Trek from the ground up—their passion for outdoor adventures is what led them to founding their brand. They loved spending entire days outside. But they didn’t like smelling as though they had. And so they were inspired to devise a solution for taking care of your body odor when you’re trekking the wilderness and there’s no shower available.

Introducing a line of products that tend to one’s cleanliness as well as skin nutrition, Clean Trek went into business when they created their solution. With a line-up of gear spray, body wash, body wipes, and more, Clean Trek has built their products on eco-friendliness and lasting odor elimination.

Found on the Everything Summer Camp online store, we offer the Odor Control Body Wipes 24 Pack. These wonderful little wipes are durable and effective! Giving campers and adventurers of all different walks of life the ability to make themselves clean without requiring running water—or any water, for that matter—Clean Trek Body Wipes are certainly a must-have for campers who plan on multi-day hikes.

Leaving your skin feeling fresh and smooth, each wipe contains Clean Trek’s proven formula that acts to get rid of body odor and keep unpleasant odors from returning. While removing body and other odors, the wipes will soothe the skin with Aloe Vera and Vitamin E. We’re proud to represent the Clean Trek brand, offering their innovative hygienic products. Order a pack for your camper and, as always, thanks for reading.

Hey, Footwear Folks!

Here at Everything Summer Camp, we love discovering the stories and histories behind the businesses with whom we work. And we love sharing those stories with our faithful customers and Blog followers. Among the excellent brands that make up our assorted footwear department, Chaco is one of these footwear companies whose shoes we are very proud to offer.

Constructing superior footwear for avid fans of the outdoors creates a very fulfilling life for the folks at Chaco. They believe their products enable people to grab hold of an enriched lifestyle that they achieve through travel, exploring their community, and going on adventures. And we believe so too.

Founded in 1989 in the village of Paonia by a Colorado river rafting guide named Mark Paigen, Chaco Footwear established a factory and immediately started manufacturing sandals, shoes, boots, and other outdoorsy accessories for folks who like roughin’ it.

They quickly separated themselves from forgettable footwear brands when they came out with their iconic Z/Sandals—designed for full adjustability and unrivaled traction on land as well as water. With this release and a continued application of simplicity, versatility, comfort, and durability, Chaco redefined themselves as leaders in performance footwear.

Kids have a tendency to go rough on their footwear—especially at summer camp. But Chaco has their recipe for premium footwear down to a science at this point. That’s why we have their Kids Z1 as well as the Kids ZX/1 Eco Tread Sandals from Chaco’s Z collection. We also offer the Kids OutCross Sport Sandal—an amphibious animal you haven’t seen the likes of before.

Check out Chaco’s innovative features that these sport sandals are sporting and get your reliable footwear and shop the rest of our excellent footwear selection on our main site. As always, thanks for reading!

Hey, Camp Folks!

At Everything Summer Camp, we strive to provide our customers with only the best selection in camping gear. Shop superior quality from trusted brand names like Speedo, Burt’s Bees, and Smartwool on our eclectic online store. And we just recently made an exciting addition to our excellent brands we offer! Now find Under Armour products on our shop.

Founder of Under Armour, Kevin Plank was a former special teams captain when he played for University of Maryland. He took an idea that he initially had on the football field one day and turned it into a revolutionary industry that would forever-change the clothing that athletes wore!

Back in his playing days, Plank hated having to change his sweat-soaked cotton T-shirts over and over again during two-a-days—that is, when a team or individual player trains twice at two different times throughout a single day. He wanted performance wear that would see him through his games, his practices, and his workouts.

Determined to find a solution, he eventually decided to set out to create his own. He embarked on massive research and discovered the athletic benefits of synthetic fabrics. And, from there, he designed a T-shirt that he engineered with moisture-wicking performance fibers. The shirt was made to keep athletes cool, dry, and light in the most brutally hot conditions.

It was the first HeatGear® Tee. By the time he turned 23, he had unofficially launched his new company which he appropriately named Under Armour. The business may have operated from out of his grandmother’s basement and he may have traveled the East Coast, selling his T-Shirts from the trunk of his car, but he knew he had started something big.

After his first year, Kevin generated $17,000 in sales! The next year, he went to work developing his next invention—ColdGear® fabric to keep athletes warm and dry and light. Soon after, he came out with his AllSeasonGear® clothing line. By the time he was 25, Kevin moved into new headquarters and warehouse (a step up from his grandmother’s basement).

Kevin Plank recognized a problem and when he couldn’t find a solution—he created one. Through hard work and a good amount of determination, Kevin took his desires and made a difference in the comfort that athletes can dress in during their performances. Check out our wide selection of quality clothing and other camping gear from Under Armour right here. And, as always, thanks for reading!
