CAMPS & SUMMER PROGRAMS

Camp shirts ready
before the first
drop-off line.

Camp apparel is a logistics problem disguised as a t-shirt order: hundreds of campers in youth sizes, staff who need to be findable from across a field, color-coding by group or week, and a hard deadline called Week 1. We print for day camps, sports camps, church and scout camps, park district programs, and the staff teams that run them: sized, sorted, and delivered before orientation.

WHAT WE PRINT

Everything on the packing list.

Camp orders repeat a few patterns: bulk camper tees, high-visibility staff gear, and the merch table at pickup. We run all three before the season starts.

Camper tees

The bulk run: youth XS through adult sizes in one order, one design, often one shirt per week of camp. Simple art in program colors keeps the per-piece price camp-budget friendly.

Staff & counselor shirts

High-contrast colorways that make staff findable at the pool, the field, and the pickup line. STAFF backs, CIT colorways, leadership colors that campers learn by day two.

Group & week color-coding

Red group, blue group, week-3 lime green: same design, swapped shirt colors, sorted by group at delivery. The sorting system that makes field trips countable.

Specialty & sports camps

Performance tees for sports camps, tie-dye-friendly blanks for art camps, long-sleeve sun protection for outdoor and water programs.

Camp merch

Hoodies and crewnecks for the camp store, drawstring bags for gear, hats for the sun, water-bottle-friendly totes for pickup-day sales.

Church, scout & rec programs

VBS weeks, troop summer camps, park district program shirts: same calendar pressure, same bulk-youth-size logistics, same fix.

WHAT WE SOLVE

The camp-order problems every director knows.

01

Week 1 does not reschedule

Camp starts when school ends, period. We schedule production backwards from your orientation date with buffer built in, and rush tiers exist for the program that finalized enrollment late.

02

Youth sizes are their own science

A 6-year-old YXS and a 12-year-old YXL are different garments that need to match in color and print. We run mixed youth-adult size curves in one order and help you set the mix from your enrollment data.

03

Camp budgets are per-camper math

The shirt is baked into the registration fee, so every dollar matters. No screen charges plus volume pricing above 72 pieces keeps the per-camper cost where the budget needs it, and the wizard shows it live before you commit.

METHODS THAT FIT

What we run for camps.

Screen printing

The camp standard: bulk camper tees and staff shirts above 72 pieces. One- and two-color designs keep costs lowest; no screen charges even when each group gets its own shirt color.

FAQS

Camp questions we hear every spring.

How early should we order for a June start?

Three to four weeks before Week 1 is comfortable, enrollment will still shift, so many camps order 90% in May and top off with a fast small batch the week before. Your art stays on file, so the top-off skips setup.

Can we mix youth and adult sizes in one order?

Yes: youth XS through adult 4XL in the same run, same design, same per-design pricing. The order form handles the size matrix per shirt color.

Can each group get a different shirt color?

Yes, and it costs nothing extra in setup, same art, swapped garment colors. We sort and label by group at packing so distribution day is grab-and-go.

What happens when enrollment jumps after we order?

Reorders skip art and proofing because everything is on file. Standard turnaround applies; DTF backfills small counts in days when Week 1 is close.

Do you do camper names on shirts?

Yes, heat-transfer names are per-piece with no setup fee per name. Send the roster and we handle the layout. Popular for final-week keepsake shirts.
