SUMMER CAMP ESSENTIALS 2016


I can’t believe its less than 120 days until camp! I feel like I just wrote the Visiting Day guide and here we are again… Last year I bailed on writing the “Essential Guide for Camp” but I think its important to refer back to and for all those peeps who are sending their kids to camp for the first time. I remember when I sent Zach the first year, I had zero clue how to prepare. Therefore, I hope this guide will be the PERFECT guide to use, take with you to your camp appointments and share with friends who are just beginning the sleep away camp process! The entire week I will be doing Giveaways from all the stores/vendors in the guide! This is the BIGGEST giveaway week to date! Don’t forget to follow @luluandlattes on Instagram to win a slew of camp essentials! I will be following up with my other two camp guides in May (last minute fun things for camp) and July (visiting day)!

Bee Bee Designs is packed with everything you may need to get your son or daughter off to camp. Bee Bee also opened a store in Rockville, Maryland to help all the campers in and around the Maryland area!
To start off packing, the most important essential you will need are trunks! My advice is go jumbo and buy 2, you will need them for all the extra sports equipment, bedding, storage boxes, etc. Bee Bee has super duty 1800 denier soft trunks.

ADDRESS BOOKS

I know with the invention of snapchat, instagram and Facebook, its super easy to keep in touch with your camp friends. But there is something nice about having a book filled with all of your friends names and addresses! I’m not so sure my boys care but the girls just might! There is even room for email addresses and instagram names.

Bandana Man Address Book $10.00 Bee Bee
Emoji Camp Address Book $10.00 *

*These will be available for purchase in the next week or so. I wanted to get them up because the others are so LAST YEAR. LOL

FANS

After going through SEVERAL fans in 3 years, I finally learned the clip on fans suck. The best ones are the portable desk size fans that blow a ton of air and keep your kids cool at night. I am a big fan of the Honeywell ones. The O2Cool fans you will find in the camp stores will also get the job done.

FLASHLIGHT

Although this flashlight may be a little bit more expensive than some of the others, just think how happy your kids will be that they don’t have to change the batteries! This flashlight  holds a full charge for years, it works off a solar charge as well as batteries as a backup, and it floats!
