Hey, Summer Camp Preppers!

This blog is a great guide for everyone to get as much fun out of summer camp as you can! After all, Everything Summer Camp prides itself on offering products that will help you in just about any situation summer camp will bring to you. From our classic camp trunks to bug spray and sunscreen, we have it all.

Summer camp is all about making camp friends, sleeping under the stars, and cooking over a campfire. If cooking is as important to you as it is to everyone else, the Mess Kit from Everything Summer Camp is right for you. Bring your own pot and pan to camp to make a great meal for yourself.

If you’re a fan of both camping and cooking, then you definitely don’t want to miss your opportunity for this quintessential summer camp experience of cooking over a real fire—not stove top elements or even the small flares from a gas oven—but real flames, feasting on the wood that created a spark, maybe even by you!

This Mess Kit from Everything Summer Camp includes a six and a half inch fry pan with a “stay cool” locking and insulating handle. The kit also has a half quart boiling pot, covers that can serve a dual purpose as plates, and an eight oz. plastic cup. The contents in this kit are high-quality polished stainless steel with copper bottoms.

Each item in this five-piece dinnerware set is easy to clean. Just use soap and water after using the dishes in your Mess Kit the same way you would with any other dish from your kitchen at home!

So relax, smile, and take in the fresh air along with the enticing scent of your dinner sizzling over a campfire. Who knew camp could be so delicious? Until next time, Camp Fans!

Hey, Summer Camp Aficionados!

Today is the day of our country’s independence. Way back when in a time that we only know from history books, the people who lived in “The New World” (more modernly known as the United States of America) still felt the rule of Great Britain. Independence Day (or the Fourth of July as we commonly call it) is the day that we adopted our Declaration of Independence in 1776.

For 237 years, we have been celebrating our freedom from the rule of any other country but ourselves. That’s why we make it a pretty big deal once a year to enjoy our freedom on the Fourth of July.

As we’ve all seen the fun of Fourth of Julys past, we, as Americans, like to go all out to celebrate our Independence Day. We march in parades, we have carnivals, fairs, picnics, concerts, baseball games (America’s favorite pastime), we have get-togethers with our friends and families, political speeches are made with ceremonies and gatherings. And, of course, we end the whole day with a bang!

Fireworks!

They’re loud. They’re bright. They’re an essential part of our Fourth of July tradition. Fireworks have been around for over 1000 years. Originally, fireworks were made in India by filling bamboo cases or rolled-up paper tubes with explosives. The loud bang they make when they go off was initially thought to scare off evil spirits.

At Everything Summer Camp, we’re proud to be a part of top notch, high-quality products that we manufacture right here in the United States. There’s nothing we love more than making sure that your summer and summer camp experience is as fun as it can be.

That’s all for today, Camp Fans. Have a blast today, and remember to make your summer a blast! Thanks for reading!

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!
