The average camper’s packing list recommends you bring a dozen pairs of socks to camp. Certain camps specify to bring wool socks as well as your typical cotton or polyester. Wool socks are wonderful at providing the comfort, protection, and support you want when you’re engaged in some serious camp fun like Mountain Biking, the Climbing Wall, Ropes Course, or whatever other adventures lay ahead.

Smartwool socks like the Kids’ Hike Full Cushion Margarita Crew Sock separate themselves from your everyday cotton with features that provide a function for your wearing comfort. These Crew Socks are given an elasticized arch brace so it stays in place on your foot, a flat knit toe seam to offer an almost-luxurious feel, and full cushioning for warmth as well as protection.

The Smartwool Story

Smartwool is a little ski-town brand founded by Peter and Patty Duke—ski instructors who moved in 1994 from the East Coast to Steamboat, Colorado. “That first year in Steamboat was the coldest my feet have ever been,” Peter was quoted in an Outdoor Retailer article from 2017. “I literally poured water out of my boots at the end of the day! A friend and I made some merino socks, and after that my feet were the warmest they’ve ever been, and they were absolutely dry. That’s when the lightbulb went off.”

The Full Cushion also ensures extra-durability so these socks are sure to last you many years to come. When they DO eventually wear out, however, these socks are biodegradable and will return to the earth in just a few years! The outdoors means everything to companies like Smartwool as well as all of us here at Everything Summer Camp. After all, our whole purpose is help folks get the most out of their time outdoors. That’s why Smartwool practices ethical sourcing and sustainable manufacturing with natural and recycled wool.

Happy sheep make for happy customers, which is why Smartwool works to ensure that the Merino sheep whose wool they shear live happy, peaceful lives in their natural habitat. Coming off the sheep greasy, the wool is cleaned, combed, and spun into yarn which is then made into amazing Smartwool products, available right here for the comfort of campers’ rambling feet! High-performing and uncompromisingly comfortable, Smartwool socks are an excellent choice for the active camper!

Go far. Feel good.

Why Wool?

It may sound like torture to wear wool on your feet, but that’s because you’re thinking of the itchy sweater your Grandma knitted for you. That’s a different type of wool than Smartwool. Smartwool uses responsibly-sourced Merino wool which consists of a much thinner and softer fiber. It isn’t itchy at all. In fact, it’s insanely soft, unbelievably breathable, and completely comfortable!

Wool in the Summer?

You may think wool would only be for keeping you warm but that isn’t always the case. In fact, some campers prefer to ONLY wear wool socks since they keep your feet a comfortable temperature—warm when it’s cold out and cool in the heat. Wool actually works by regulating your body temperature. Smartwool socks are made of a thinner wool that is anti-odor and moisture-wicking to keep your feet feeling cool even in the thick of the summer season.

Get Smart About Your Socks!

Thanks to the nature of this ‘miracle fiber’, Smartwool socks are naturally antibacterial, resist odor, and wick moisture away. For that reason, these socks don’t require washing after each use. You know your child. They MIGHT just grab the SAME pair of socks from yesterday! If they’re just going to wear the same socks again, make sure they’re Smartwool. The whole cabin will appreciate socks that don’t stink!
