Create Your Own Masterpiece in Steel
Not your Father’s Camp Trunk
The Create-Your-Own Footlocker puts your camper in charge of their summer adventure. You’re not just buying a trunk—you’re giving them the power to design their own camp gear from the ground up. Pick from 20 bold color options and splash them across 10 steel panels however you like.
Match, contrast, coordinate, or go full chaos-mode! We’re not here to judge. We’re here to make your camper’s vision a reality. This trunk is the same build as our legendary Happy Camper, but with your child at the helm of the design.
Endless Possibilities
Enabling your camper to create something personal and special helps them make camp their own from day one. You’re not just choosing colors. You’re giving your camper a deeper sense of ownership over their summer adventure. When they unbox the trunk they designed themselves and see it in real life—built like a tank and painted like a dream—the excitement for camp kicks in big-time. (And yes, giving your kid this kind of creative control? Proven to help with homesickness.)
With literally one hundred quintillion design options, the possibilities aren't exactly endless but they might as well be! One hundred quintillion is written as a 1 with 20 zeros behind it, or: 100,000,000,000,000,000,000.
More Ways to Customize Than Anyone Else
Accessorize your Create-Your-Own Steel Footlocker with our full lineup of game-changing extras—like the Wheel Away System, LidMate Organizer, Glide & Go Tray, or motion-sensor light strip. We’ll install them at the factory or you can add them yourself at home with ease.
Tough as Nails
And beneath that wild, custom exterior? The same premium construction that makes C&N the most trusted name in summer camp trunks. Steel-clad. Plywood-core. Built right here in Wisconsin. This thing can take 1800 pounds of pressure without breaking a sweat. It’s more than a trunk—it’s a dresser, bench, launchpad to the top bunk, and long-term companion for your camper’s summer journey.
We Don’t Just Talk Tough—We Back It Up
With a Lifetime Free Repair Warranty and lightning-fast shipping in just two business days, this personalized trunk is the ultimate blend of durability, individuality, and camp swagger. If your camper’s going to have a trunk, let it be one they’ll never forget. Let it be one THEY designed.
Let’s hear from the expert himself, Dr. Christopher Thurber, co-author of The Summer Camp Handbook:
“You want something really sturdy—not the budget trunk you might get at a big box department store, but something you can stand on because that’s what kids will do at camp and they don’t want to fall through it.”

Camp Trunk Buying Guide
A lot summer camps hail the footlocker trunk as their preferred packing container. But what size will suit your camper best, specific to his or her camp stay? You’ll want to consider a few different factors before making your decision.
First, get the right bed height for the bunks at camp. You might be able to find this on your camp information packet but, if not, don’t be afraid to call up the camp for answers. Generally trunks under 14” work for most camps.
Second, consider the amount of camp clothing, gear, and supplies you need to pack. Just because your child is going to camp for three weeks doesn’t mean you need to pack clothes for three weeks, many camps have laundry service. Follow your camp’s packing list.
Third, consider what size clothing you’re trying to pack. After all, a dozen Youth Small Tees won’t eat up as much space as a dozen Adult Larges. The lists above will give you a good idea of what can fit inside each of our trunks. We used a combination of Youth Large and Adult Small clothing to create the lists. Our camp trunks are all 32” long and 18” wide, the only difference is in the height of trunks.
Companion
We designed with size in mind! Our smallest trunk means that it costs the least and weighs the least. It also means that it’s the least expense when travelling on airlines. Most campers that use this trunk attend a camp with very low bed heights or consistently travel to camp via plane.
Happy Camper
By far the most popular of our camp trunks, the Happy Camper is the safest choice. Why? Because it works! Sized right for pretty much any camp, the Happy Camper can do no wrong. 75% of our footlocker sales are Happy Campers. It’s also the model for our latest creation, Designer Trunks, which are made with the same size and design of the Happy Camper.
UnderGrad
If your camp offers the available space, then the UnderGrad is a great size trunk for you. This trunk fits a bit more gear than the Happy Camper. The additional packing space provides for a little wiggle-room too which makes living out of the trunk a little more convenient.
Graduate
If your camp has no height restrictions, then go as big as you can with the Graduate. For campers who are looking forward to a lengthier camp stay at a camp without laundry service, this is the trunk for you. The Graduate also offers excellent future use at school if college is coming up soon after your summer camp days.
