(BPT) - With millions of kids attending camp each summer in the U.S., parents are gearing up for the return of swim days, tie-dye crafts, and nature hikes. Whether it's their first camp or their fifth, having the right gear can make or break the experience. Carter's^® house of brands have rounded up the ultimate camp checklist to make drop-off easier and keep your camper cool, comfortable and confident all season long.

Camp-Ready Activewear

Dressing your kids and toddlers for sports camp is all about balancing comfort, durability and of course, style. At Carter's, we design clothing that moves with your kids - think fabrics that can handle a day of running, jumping, and playing hard. Lightweight layers, moisture-wicking tanks, and elastic waists keep them cool and comfortable, while UPF 50+ swimwear offers extra protection during outdoor activities. With the right gear, your little athlete can focus on the fun - while you enjoy peace of mind.

Overnight Must-Haves

Whether it's their first sleepaway adventure or they're a seasoned camper, overnight essentials are key to keeping kids comfy, cozy, and well-rested. Pack soft pajamas that can double as lounge sets, along with extra layers for cooler cabin nights. Don't forget the little things that make a big difference like a hooded towel for after evening swims, or a favorite water bottle to keep by their bunk. With the right gear in their bag, they'll be ready to rest up for another day of fun.

Day Camp Style

From messy crafts to splashy swim days, day camp calls for outfits that show off their personal style while staying comfortable and ready for anything. Bright colors, easy fabrics, and comfy layers make it simple to mix, match, and move through the day in style. Pajama day? Covered. Water play? No problem. Look for pieces that are quick to change, built to play, and ready for whatever the day's theme brings, because at camp, the best looks are the ones that can do it all.
