\"Camp<\/p>\n

Camp is where memories are made. Days are jam-packed with activities, and\u00a0it’s important for kids to have the\u00a0essentials to get them safely and comfortably through the day. Sporting Life is your destination for all things camp;\u00a0you can find any\u00a0necessities at one of our stores, whether it be apparel, footwear, or accessories. Want to know what should be in\u00a0your child’s\u00a0camp backpack? See below for our essential picks!<\/p>\n

The Pack<\/strong><\/span>
\nThere are so many cool backpacks out there…how are you supposed to choose?! Sporting Life has plenty of backpacks for any personal style. The Fjallraven Kanken Mini<\/a> is perfect for kids at camp. The durable, waterproof fabric will keep their belongings safe from the elements, and a name and address label on the inside makes it easy to identify a lost pack.<\/p>\n

Summer Outerwear<\/strong><\/span>
\nLiving in Canada, we all know the weather can be tricky. Fingers crossed for a sunny, hot summer, but we have to be prepared for whatever wacky weather comes our way.\u00a0The K-Way Claude Klassic<\/a> is a\u00a0tried and true jacket that is sure to keep the wind and rain at bay, and it\u00a0is incredibly convenient to pack away in a knapsack.<\/p>\n

Hydration<\/strong><\/span>
\nYou know what’s swell? Staying hydrated.\u00a0During an active day at camp,\u00a0a S’well bottle<\/a> is going to be your kid’s\u00a0new best friend. These bottles keep\u00a0liquid cold for 24 hours, meaning\u00a0a camper will\u00a0never be without a refreshing drink\u00a0while playing their heart out. For some added fun, check out the S’well Chalk Ink Pen<\/a>…it’s a fun way to personalize a S’well\u00a0bottle, and it won’t smudge until you wipe it\u00a0clean with\u00a0a damp cloth.<\/p>\n

Footwear<\/strong><\/span>
\nWhile flip-flops are the easiest thing to wear on a hot summer day, many camp activities require closed toe shoes – you don’t want to be on a ropes course in sandals!\u00a0Be prepared and pack\u00a0some Toms Bimini shoes<\/a>; they’re compact and easy to carry around, and have an adjustable elastic to ensure\u00a0they’ll stay put during any activity.\u00a0Be sure to stash some extra socks too; there’s nothing worse than wet, sandy socks! This pair by Living Royal<\/a> is perfect for summer.<\/p>\n

Sun Protection<\/strong><\/span>
\nCamp is all about fun, and the furthest thing from fun is a sunburn.\u00a0Keep your child’s face\u00a0out of the sun in style with a funky Ralph Lauren Printed Camp Cap<\/a>, and\u00a0make it easy for them\u00a0to\u00a0stay\u00a0protected\u00a0with some Sun Bum SPF 50 Original Spray Sunscreen<\/a>. Bonus: Sun Bum is hypoallergenic and water resistant, allowing for longer playtime without disruption.<\/p>\n

Gear<\/strong><\/span>
\nIt wouldn’t be camp without some fun accessories! Dry off after a day at the lake with a printed Volcom Die Towel<\/a>, or use it to keep warm on the boat after a refreshing waterski. If a long day of activities didn’t tire them out, a Princeton Tec Bot LED Headlamp<\/a> helps kids navigate their way back from an evening campfire or unwind in their bunk with a book.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
