Welcome to the new Summercamps.com Marketplace

We know that preparing for camp can be time consuming and difficult so we’ve taken the stress out by offering a curated list of key items that you may need for your camper. To make it even easier, we have organized our marketplace by camp type. Just look below for the type of camp your camper will attend, and see some of the top items your camper will need for a fantastic camp experience.

Adventure

Sending your camper on an adventure? For this type of camp, they will need some special gear for hiking, camping, and exploring. Often it all must fit into a backpack of some type to keep their hands free and their equipment close. Some of the key items for the Adventure Camper:



Sports

If you have an athlete in your camper, he or she will need to be prepared for the sports of their dreams with special equipment, as well as some general items that all athletes need. Often the sports camps provide some equipment such as balls and bats for baseball camp, but your camper may want his or her own equipment, too. Check with your camp director to be sure you know exactly what the camp provides. Here are some items for your Athlete Camper

Your camp likely provides basic materials, but you may want to replicate those tools and materials at home so your camper can practice their new skills when they get home.

Technology camps are another way to expand your camper’s knowledge with exposure to the latest programming and gaming skills. Here are some items for your student or technologist:
