Camp gear has a funny way of wandering off—whether it's the towel left by the lake, a hoodie swapped at campfire, or socks that somehow vanish into thin air. The golden rule? Put your name on everything. Labels, stamps, monograms—whatever it takes. Parents, campers, and staff agree: a well-labeled item is an item that makes it back to its rightful owner.

Lost Items at Camp
At our camp, our most lost item is beach towels, as kids aren't used to keeping track of them.

Label Everything
As a counselor and parent of two campers: items get lost. Labels help them find their way back!
Extra Clothing Labels
Send extra stick-on labels. After a few washes, kids can reapply them themselves.

Personalize, Personalize, Personalize
The more personalized the better—labels, stickers, anything unique helps keep items yours.
Labeling may seem small, but it's one of the biggest favors you can do for yourself and your camper. From preventing towel mix-ups to making laundry day less chaotic, labels keep camp life organized. Pack your markers, order your tags, and let your camper focus on the fun—not finding their stuff.
