Hey there, Summer Camp Enthusiasts!

Every camper needs a trusty water bottle to bring along with them for a summer camp stay, right? Well, you’ll be glad to see that at Everything Summer Camp, we have a vast assortment of great water bottles and water bottle alternatives for your hydrating convenience this summer.

For today’s blog post I want to tell you about the All Clear water bottle from CamelBak. This BPA Free Plastic CamelBak Water Bottle belongs at summer camp because it’s so convenient in the outdoors thanks to its resourceful design.

See, when CamelBak created the All Clear, they gave it proven UV technology that effectively neutralizes any potential microbiological contaminants in your water to meet EPA standards. CamelBak also gave the All Clear a built-in LCD that will give you confirmation that your water has been purified. It will only take one minute!

Whether you’re pouring yourself tap water, filling it with pond water, or just holding it out in a downpour, your All Clear will have it turned into safe drinking water in sixty seconds! Now you can stay hydrated when you’re out there in the wilderness! All you need is a natural water source.

The CamelBak All Clear Water Bottle holds .75 L. You’ll have all the water you need when this thing is full. And when you run out, just wait until you pass another water source, and you can fill up all over again. The CamelBak All Clear lets you stay hydrated on the go and on the spot!

You can also make yourself a cup of hot chocolate because the CamelBak can handle anything from ice-cold to boiling-hot water. Heavy-duty and BPA-Free, it’s easy to see—this bottle was made for camp.

That’s all for today, Summer Camp Fans! Stay hydrated and drink up!

Hey, Camp Fans!

For today’s blog post I’ll be discussing one of the great water bottle suppliers whose water bottles can be found right here at Everything Summer Camp. Keep reading to discover the story behind Klean Kanteen’s success. This clean company is incredibly charitable and environmentally-conscious.

Did you know that in 2002—just eleven years ago—there were no stainless steel water bottles? It also wasn’t very common knowledge that health and environmental issues were linked to plastic water bottles. But having understood the issues at hand from the start, Robert Seals, founder of Klean Kanteen, started putting together prototypes.

Only two years later, Robert started marketing the first 27 oz. Klean Kanteen. It was an introduction to a different route than plastic. Klean Kanteen’s stainless steel water bottles offered a safe, healthy, lightweight, and reusable water bottle option. It was a bottle that contained no BPA or any other toxic substances.

Back then, Klean Kanteens were sold at music festivals and environmental fairs. In another year, in 2005, the company was passed on to the Cresswell family who quickly faced challenges of growth and expansion. However, word was beginning to get around about the dangers of BPA. Consumers turned to Klean Kanteen.

According to Klean Kanteen as it says on their Web site, “Nationwide, even worldwide, we are seeing a massive shift away from single-use plastic bottles as more people choose a healthier, refillable option, often a Klean Kanteen.” Klean Kanteen’s success was about as sudden as it was certain.

Since the company sold its first water bottle, Klean Kanteen has been looking for ways to considerably lower their environmental footprint. In 2008, Klean Kanteen became a member of 1% For the Planet in which they donate 1% of their annual sales to nonprofits that are working to protect Mother Earth.

Everything Summer Camp is happy to work with people who are as environmentally conscious as Klean Kanteen. Stay quenched, campers!

Hey, Camp Fans!

For today’s post I’ll tell you about a couple of great new duffel bags from JanSport that we’re now carrying at Everything Summer Camp. JanSport, the Original Outdoor Gear Brand that we all know so well, has been making their excellent products since 1967.

Take a look at JanSport’s 20” and 24” Duffels. These cool and classic camp duffel bags are excellent options to help bring convenience to summer camp. These bags both have padded shoulder straps to offer you excellent carrying comfort.

And when you have too much to carry, you can simply convert your JanSport duffel bag into a backpack to give yourself an additional carrying option making it easier to carry other gear along with you while you’re moving all your things into your bunkroom. These bags help make transportation go smoothly.

For additional smooth traveling, these duffels are given compression straps to give some structure to the bag and some control over the load. These bags travel great and keep most things in place just the way you packed it.

They both offer you ample space inside their wide duffel style compartment—obviously the 24” Duffel can hold more than the 20” (nearly 20 L more). The 20” Duffel will hold slightly under forty liters while the 24” can do a little under sixty liters.

The 20” Duffel, made of 600 Denier Polyester, wears uniform dots in cool, calm colors that will make it easy to spot in a crowd a quickly become an easy favorite! It weighs just 1 lb., 5 oz. It’s 20” tall, 12” wide, and 10.5” deep.

The 24” Duffel, while still made of 600 Denier Polyester, weighs in at 1 lb., 8 oz.—only three more than the 20”. It’s a solid, classic black duffel with an external accessory pocket to help you keep certain items handy. It’s 24” tall, 11.5” wide, and 13” deep.

So check out our JanSport Duffels at Everything Summer Camp and have a duffel help you get to camp! That’s all for today, Folks! Till next time.

Hey, Camp Fans!

It’s the last day of May; and you know what that means! It’s most-likely time for many of you to actively prepare for your camper’s summer camp stay. While completing a packing list, making sure that your camper is completely packed, and eventually getting them to camp with all of their camp gear may sound like an overwhelming impossibility—I swear—Everything Summer Camp can help make everything much simpler than it sounds.

It’s true! Everything Summer Camp can really take away all the stress that goes into getting everything ready for your child’s summer camp stay.

Issues start to arise when you have multiple places from which you need to buy your gear. It can easily become much harder to keep track of all your things when you purchased nine items online from five separate Web sites and the rest you decide to hunt and gather at your local retail stores! Yes, you will save some money this way, but the products you’re going to purchase will not be of the same quality as what we can offer.

We’re Everything Summer Camp! We’re your one stop shop for all your summer camp needs! Our Web site can save you tons of time and we don’t make our customers pay through the nose for it, either. In fact, we hope that you involve your camper in the experience of preparing for summer camp—have fun on our Web site and really get into the summer camp spirit.

Our number one concern is our customers and getting your children to camp fully prepared and on time. Don’t let stressful camp prepping lead to a stressful camp experience for your camper—leave the work to us and simply enjoy your summer!

That’s all for today, Camp Fans! And, as always, thanks for reading!
