If you're like most parents, your starting to plan your child's summer camp activities and research summer camp options. Many camps are starting to fill up, so we are happy you're starting your research early. After all, going to camp is exciting opportunity for kids. They get to learn new skills, make new friends, and create lifelong memories. Our primary mission here at L.A. Summer Camps.com is to help parents find the best camps for their kids. But one of the ancillary questions parents keep asking is, "What should my child wear and bring to camp? How should we pack?"

In this blog post, we’ll cover what to wear and bring to summer camp to ensure that your child has a safe and enjoyable experience. Keep in mind this is a general guide and each camp may have its own recommendations. In any case, you can't go wrong purchasing and bringing all the items on this list.
Clothing

When it comes to clothing, you want to make sure your child is comfortable and prepared for all types of weather and activities. Here are some essential items to pack:

  1. T-shirts and tank tops: Pack enough for your child to wear a clean one each day. Look for lightweight, breathable materials like cotton or linen.

  2. Shorts: Pack several pairs of shorts that are comfortable and easy to move in. Cargo shorts are a popular choice as they have plenty of pockets for storing small items. Board shorts are great for swimming in pools, lakes and oceans. View board shorts recommendations.

  3. Swimwear: Your child will likely have access to a pool or lake, so pack at least two swimsuits. Look for swimsuits with UV protection to prevent sunburn.

  4. Lightweight jacket or sweatshirt: Even in the summer, temperatures can drop at night. Pack a lightweight jacket or sweatshirt for your child to stay warm.

  5. Rain gear: Check the weather forecast before you pack and be prepared for rain. Pack a lightweight raincoat and rain boots.

Shoes

Your child will be on their feet all day, so make sure they have comfortable and sturdy shoes. Here are some essential shoes to pack:

  1. Sneakers/tennis shoes: Your child will need a comfortable pair of sneakers for hiking, sports, and other activities. These should be closed-toed shoes.

  2. Sandals: Pack a pair of sandals that are easy to slip on and off for trips to the pool or lake.

  3. Water shoes: If your child will be in and out of the water, pack a pair of water shoes to protect their feet from rocks and other debris.
In addition to clothing and shoes, here are some essential accessories to pack:

  1. Sunscreen: Protect your child’s skin from the sun’s harmful rays with a high SPF sunscreen.

  2. Insect repellent: Pack insect repellent to protect your child from mosquitoes and other insects.

  3. Water bottle: Your child will need to stay hydrated, so pack a water bottle that they can refill throughout the day.

  4. Hat: A hat will provide additional protection from the sun’s rays.

  5. Backpack: Your child will need a backpack to carry their water bottle, sunscreen, and other essentials.
