The kids are out of school and ready to roll! If you have enrolled them into summer camps, whether it’s sleepaway camps or just day camps, you will need a summer camp packing list.

Summer camp is coming up and we are all excited! This means some alone time for mommy and the kids get to enjoy outdoor activities. How do we know if we are prepared to send them off to camp? We are entrusting them in someone else’s hands, sending them out in the summer heat to play so hard they might forget to drink water.

Make every mealtime a fun and personal experience with the ultimate lunch box for kids. Featuring six roomy compartments and a leakproof silicone seal, yummy and healthy food stays fresh, crisp and ready to eat all day long. Free from BPA and phthalates, it also separates into three components to make cleaning a breeze. Your child’s mealtime has never been simpler!
The best labels for camp, these personalized labels are waterproof, bug spray proof, sunblock proof, and adventure proof. Label everything from sleeping bags, flashlights, toiletries, every piece of clothing, and anything else on the list of items to pack. Plus, with all the styles and color combinations you can think of, you really can design unique name labels that will keep your kid's stuff standing out in the bunk or the dreaded lost and found.
Premium Baby Insect Repellent – More than a mosquito repellent for kids, this fast-absorbing spray can also repel biting flies, ticks, and fleas.
The O2COOL mini misting fan offers a refreshing breeze to keep you cozy during the heat. Fill it up with water and spray yourself with a cooling fine mist anywhere you go!
Whether or not they do water play, it’s always good to have a change of clothes handy. I like to use very lightweight clothing because the kids get so hot and I don’t want to weigh down their backpacks with heavy clothing.
I’m so excited for the kids to start summer camp. There are so many great activities our camp has planned. But I want to make sure we are prepared. There’s always something we forget to pack!
I’m sure we will be thinking of sleepaway camp soon too! Then they will need an alarm clock.
Most of these items can be also used for a summer camp counselor packing list.
