Packing for summer camp is an exciting part of the summer adventure, but it can also feel a little overwhelming, especially if it’s your daughter’s first time away. From long hikes and campfire nights to water activities and downtime with friends, she’ll need a wardrobe that’s both functional and fun.
Start with the summer camp essentials for girls: comfortable bras and underwear, breathable layers, durable shoes, and easy-to-mix basics like shorts, camisoles, and hoodies. Include clothing that can handle a range of outdoor activities and be prepared for changes in weather by packing versatile pieces she can layer.
In this guide, we’ll help you streamline the packing process with practical tips and summer camp outfit ideas that will keep your daughter confident, comfy, and camp-ready from day one.
The Essentials
Choose bras and underwear for your daughter’s summer camp experience that are comfortable and functional. Our Tink Hybrid Sports Bras are made from breathable materials that provide plenty of support for high-energy activities like hiking and relay races.
When it comes to underwear, look for soft-fabric options like our Simple Pima Cotton Underwear, so she feels fresh and comfortable throughout the hot days. Buying multipack options is convenient and ensures she has enough pairs to last the duration of camp. If she’s at summer camp for more than a week, give her some summer camp laundry tips to keep her clothes clean.
Picking the right bras and underwear will help her feel more confident, comfortable, and ready for whatever summer camp adventures await.
Mix-and-Match Basics
We love a good mix-and-match moment. Packing a collection of basics is ideal for any summer camp wardrobe, offering versatility and comfort for a wide variety of activities. Basics like our Downtown Hoodies, Uptown Joggers, Shell Camisoles, and Midtown Shorts are easy to change into after a day of summer camp water activities.
When your daughter is looking for a cute, comfy outfit to cozy up in after a long day outside, Yellowberry has what you want. Our hoodies and joggers, for example, provide extra warmth during those cool evenings and early mornings. Their shorts and camisoles are perfect for more active daytime adventures.
The beauty of these basics is how effortless it is to mix and match them to fit the vibe of the moment. A few of these key pieces make multiple outfits, so they’re excellent choices to pack for summer camp. Packing these essentials ensures your daughter is stylish, comfy, and ready for whatever activities are on her summer camp itinerary.
Stay Organized. Make a Checklist!
With how busy life can be, it’s easy to forget things when you pack. By making a checklist, you can avoid missing items and prepare your daughter for a smooth, stress-free summer camp experience.
What should be on the list? Clothing, toiletries, personal items, and whatever else she may need. Send the checklist with her, so she can be sure to bring all these items home.
Organization keeps you on track and makes it easy for her to pack and unpack once she’s arrived at camp. Labeling clothing items with your daughter’s name or packing undergarments in separate plastic bags can also help avoid any mix-ups at camp and keep your daughter’s belongings with her the whole time.
