01Why it works

The shirt is half the occasion.

At camp, the shirt is the system. Campers in one color, counselors in another, staff in a third — one glance across the field and you know exactly who belongs to whom. Parents love them at drop-off, kids wear them home, and the camp logo travels back to forty different schools in September.

Camp shirts have to survive camp, which is why we lean on screen printing for the big session runs: bold, durable ink that outlasts a summer of washing machines and pond water. Youth sizes dominate but staff sizes run in the same order, and if a late enrollee shows up mid-session, no-minimum DTF fills the gap without a new print run.

02What people order

The pieces this occasion calls for.

Camper session tees

The summer’s design in youth sizes for every camper — bulk screen printing keeps per-shirt cost down where camp budgets need it.

Counselor & staff colors

Same design, different garment colors for counselors, lifeguards, and kitchen staff — instant identification across the campground, still one order.

CIT & special-program shirts

Counselors-in-training, color wars, the end-of-summer Olympics. Small program runs print easily on DTF with no minimums between big sessions.

FAQCommon questions

Summer camps, answered.

Can campers and staff sizes run in the same order?

Yes — youth XS through adult 3XL+ all run together with the same design, and the color-coding by group happens at the garment level, not as separate orders.

A camper enrolled after our shirts arrived — now what?

DTF has no minimum, so we print the stragglers one at a time as needed. Keep the artwork on file with us and mid-session additions take days, not weeks.

How early should a camp order for June sessions?

Order in April or early May. Production is 7–10 business days, but spring is busy season — earlier orders get more scheduling room, and enrollment counts firm up anyway.
