Flashlight? Check. Footlocker trunk? Check. Bug spray? Check. Summer camp departures are approaching, so you’re probably already starting to make a list and gather everything your child needs for weeks away in the great outdoors. To make your job easier, we’ve put together our own list of sustainable must-haves for your young adventurers.
Comfortable Swim Trunks
Comfortable Swim Trunks Chances are, they’ll spend their days roaming from one activity to another without time to stop and change. Our quick-drying Kids Anchor Short or Kids Bayberry Trunk made from recycled polyester helps them move from swimming to crafting to canoeing to lounging in all-day comfort –and without chafing.
Pro tip: Buy a bunch with our handy Kids Packs and you’ll save time and money when gathering their gear.
UPF Sweatshirt
Since you can’t always count on your kid to remember to reapply sunscreen, a top layer with built-in UPF is your next best bet. Our SeaBreeze Hoodie is not only light and breathable, but this easy-to-wear layer has built-in UPF 50, so you know they’ll have added protection from the sun even when you’re not there to remind them.
Everyday Tees
Kids can’t get enough of our Kismet Tees because they’re ultra-light and stretchy, so they move comfortably with every activity. The recycled polyester made from plastic bottles helps wick moisture away from skin to keep them feeling drier, even during the most heated relay races or tug-of-war games.
Mineral Sunscreen
You won’t have to compromise your eco values when they wear Babo Botanicals sunscreen. Their plant-based, cruelty-free formulas are gentle enough for soft skin but effective enough to protect it. We also love Babo Botanicals because it’s a family-owned B Corp, just like Fair Harbor, so our environmental missions align.
Lightweight Hat
Sunglasses are easily misplaced, but an easy and adjustable Shoreline 5-Panel Hat will help shade their eyes and head from the sun. It’s ultra-easy to pack and dries quickly, so it’s perfect for long, sweaty days or getting caught in the rain.
