Hey, Camp Enthusiasts!

From time to time on this blog I like to post about other companies with whom Everything Summer Camp is proud to do business. In March I talked about some great companies—Kamik, Woolrich, Crazy Creek, and Kelty.

For today’s post I want to talk about The Bug Patch—not the actual patch, but the company responsible for it, Quick Start Marketing, LLC. Last week, I posted about the way that the actual Bug Patch works (which pretty much necessitates a post completely on its own).

But in summary, it works by placing a uniform shipment of the B1 vitamin—thiamin directly into your bloodstream. The B1 thiamin then gets secreted through your pores as you sweat, which masks the odor of carbon dioxide that the bugs seem to like so much.

The bugs won’t even realize you’re around!

It’s a pretty clever idea that belongs to a Mr. Robert Borland. Robert’s Bug Patch works on a completely natural level. There’s no DEET or any other chemically-based activity happening underneath this natural insect repellent.

And The Bug Patch leaves you with no smell, no residue, no restrictions, no bugs! From ticks to mosquitoes to chiggers to gnats to black and yellow flies, the Bug Patch guarantees your protection from all of them for 24 hours using just one patch!

The Bug Patches have been awarded the National Parenting “Seal of Approval,” so you know that it’s a perfectly safe insect repellent for kids. This product is 100% natural and doctor recommended.

Robert started marketing The Bug Patch in 2004. And for the last nine years it’s really created a buzz since Quick Start Marketing, LLC was first founded in Robert’s garage.

The company has grown and expanded since then, now occupying larger facilities in Pinckard, Alabama where all of The Bug Patch’s packaging, shipping, and administrative functions happen. Everything Summer Camp is thrilled to be offering such an ingenious product as Robert Borland’s Bug Patch!

I think I’ll speak for everyone who uses The Bug Patch this summer when I say, “Thanks, Rob!”

Until next time, Campers.

Hey there, Camp Fans!

If you’re no first-timer to summer camp, then I’m sure you already know how useful of an item a laundry bag is to have with you during the time you spend at camp whether it’s just a single week stay or you’re gone for a whole month!

It’s always nicer to have a designated place where you can go with the dirty clothes you’ve worn and played around in. Without a laundry bag, you’re pretty much forced to stuff your dirty clothes in your camp trunk or duffel bag or whatever else you may have that you’re trying to live out of.

This technique of “putting away” dirty clothes will most-likely be placing them in the same vicinity as your clean clothes and only serve to smell up your camp trunk or what have you.

Take a look at our new Fashion Laundry Bags from Thread Art for a stylish, 100% Microfiber Polyester, printed bag that offers ample room for your camp clothes as your summer camp stay goes on! 

Lightweight and durable, these bags are made to carry a good load. Pull its drawstring to cinch the bag and keep your dirty clothes out of sight and out of mind—oh yeah!—and out of smell too!

The linen laundry bags make for easy transportation come the ride home after your camp stay comes to an end. Or if the camp that you attend offers a laundry service, it’s a great way to carry your camp clothes back to your room after being washed.

Pick your favorite pattern that pops out to your own personality. It makes for an easy way to spot your own from everyone else’s laundry bags as well. The interior lining is the same color as the drawstring. Get a bag with Hot Pink Dots, Green Paisley, White Paisley, Aqua Dots, Hot Pink Paisley, or Blue Paisley right here at Everything Summer Camp.

That’s all for today, Campers. Until next time.

Hey, Swimmers!

The last couple blog posts have been about swim wear from Speedo for girls and boys. Today’s post is useful to all summer camp preppers, whether you’re preparing for a boy camper, a girl camper, or both. Today I’m talking about Speedo’s swimming accessories.

First up, we have swim goggles. At Everything Summer Camp you can find a pair of the Speedo kids Vanquishers or Speedo Vanquishers for Women. We’re also bringing back Speedo’s similarly designed Jr. Hydrospex Goggles.

Jr. Vanquishers have a dual-color silicone double head strap and ergonomic adjustable strap for a cool, comfortable look and feel. They are simply the junior version of Speedo’s best-selling adult performance goggle. Vanquishers are made to give you maximum visibility and minimal glare. They give you a classic, original fit with soft cushioned silicone eye seals. Vanquishers give you excellent peripheral vision and eye-protection that goes above and beyond. They have anti-fog and anti-UV protection. They’re PVC and Latex-free. And they come with four interchangeable nose pieces options to give you the fit you want and the speed you need.

They Hydrospex Goggle is a soft split silicone that cushions your face and delivers on comfort. These goggles give you a standard field of view with an expanded side view that allows you to check out anything around you. The Hydrospex are Speedo’s best-selling junior goggle. These goggles are made with anti-fog lenses that give a UV protection of 95+, a low drag profile, as well as PVC and Latex-free material.

At Everything Summer Camp, you can also find other swimming accessories from Speedo like the Jr. Silicone Swim Cap, a flexible and lightweight Profile Nose Clip as well as the Profile Nose Clip and Ear Plug Set (care box included), and, lastly, Speedo’s comfortable and splash resistant Jr. Adventure Mask and Snorkel Set.

Hey, Swim Fans!

Yesterday’s post focused on cool, technologically advanced swim wear for girls from Speedo. So today’s post is going to balance everything out for the boys. In today’s blog post, I’ll go into three separate boy swim trunks. Keep reading to hear about Speedo’s Velocity Splice E-Board trunks, their Marina Volley swim trunks, and the Marina swim trunks in Men’s.

All of these boy swim suits are constructed with technological fabric that’s been made to offer more body coverage to give you better protection from the sun. The fabric has a tighter knit, giving you and even higher level of protection. These trunks are made to give you an improved fit so that stretching of the fabric does not lessen their UPF ratings.

First on the list are the Velocity Splice E-Board trunks. These trunks are sharp. They’re made with Speedo’s exclusive UV Block the Burn® feature. Velocity swim trunks are lightweight and compact which makes this piece of swim wear quick to dry and easy to travel with—say to the beach and back. They have nineteen inches of Outseam length and side seam pockets made out of 100% Polyester Brushed Microfiber. When you’re in a pair of Velocity Splice E-Board swim trunks, you’re in style.

Moving onto the Marina Volley trunks, this pair of swim wear is lightweight as well. These swim trunks have an elastic waistband with a drawstring to pull that will give you a secure fit that’s specific to you. Speedo gives these trunks a side pocket with a Velcro closure that uses a practical water drainage hole. They’re given a fourteen and a half-inch Outseam that spans across the 100% Polyester Brushed Microfiber which is also given UV Block the Burn®. Sport these cool trunks in Navy and Blue, Black and Grey, Navy and Green, or Black and Blue.

Lastly, is the Marina swim trunks for Men. Not so different from the Marina Volley, these trunks have a cargo pocket that features a Velcro closure, a water drainage hole, and Speedo’s logo. They have a twenty inch Outseam and a side seam pocket. Made of 100% Polyester Brushed Microfiber, these trunks are your basic volley water short with an elastic waistband and contrast piping. Available in bright Yellow and Black or Navy and Teal—either way, you’ll be in style.

Till next time, Campers!
