At Stickerkid, we highly recommend our personalised labels for summer camp - read all about them in this article!

What should you pack for your child when they’re going away on summer camp?

We've put together a fairly comprehensive list of things to pack in your child's bag or suitcase when they’re off to camp and on holiday. And don't forget to label everything with personalised name labels for summer camp!

Clothing

Make sure you pack clothes that are appropriate for the location they’re visiting, the duration of their stay, the weather and the planned activities. It's better to pack more than less, but be careful not to overload your child with heavy bags!

For holiday and summer camp, your child's bag or suitcase should contain the lightest clothes. Don't forget underwear, pyjamas, a swimming costume, raincoats and warmer clothes in case of a drop in temperature or bad weather.

If the weather shows warm weather and sunshine, don't forget a hat or cap, sunglasses and perhaps an anti-UV T-shirt. These will be your child's best protection against the sun and the heat!

Footwear

Once the clothes have been packed, find the appropriate shoes to add to your child's bag or suitcase for their holiday or summer camp. Choose shoes that are comfortable and, above all, suited to the planned activities: sports shoes or walking boots for outdoor activities, sandals for the beach or swimming pool and light shoes for outings.

Bag of toiletries

Your child's toiletries should contain a toothbrush, toothpaste, shampoo and shower gel, mosquito repellent, tissues, disinfectant wipes, sun cream and any other toiletries you feel are necessary. And don't forget towels: for the bathroom, the shower and potentially the swimming pool. And the bag of toiletries is complete!

Unlike other items that can easily be borrowed from other campers, a toothbrush is the one item you really don't want to forget! Smaller, finer items such as toothbrushes can be labelled with small, personalised labels for summer camp so that your child doesn't forget it or lose it.

Bedding and items for sleeping

Check with the camp leaders whether children need to bring their own bedding. Often, your child will need to bring a sleeping bag and sometimes even a pillow and sheets. Summer camp also means tent, torch, rechargeable batteries... everything that makes camping holidays so special. Don't forget these little accessories to make sure your little adventurers have a fun and entertaining summer camp!

Leisure items

Holiday and summer camps are all about having fun! Depending on the space left in your child's bag or suitcase, you can add a book or magazine, a board game, playing cards, a favourite toy, a musical instrument or a camera. Make sure you label all these items with personalised labels for summer camp to avoid them getting lost and accidentally swapped around.

If your child wants to avoid getting bored, let them bring their favourite cuddly toy, a book, a photo, some comforting little treats ;-) or another little lucky charm. This will reassure them as much as possible during their time away from home. You can also slip a comforting note and a bit of pocket money into your child's bag or suitcase so they can buy something they miss, or bring back a souvenir from their trip.

Medicine and first aid

Last but not least! If your child needs any specific medicine or treatments, make sure you supply them with the necessary instructions. Remember to highlight any treatments, medicines or allergies directly on the personalised labels so that the counsellors and supervisors are aware of them.

Make your own summer camp labels

Also prepare a small first-aid kit with bandages, insect bite products, disinfectants and painkillers, just in case, even if your child's carers have already prepared for this!
