Summer Camp 2024 Must Haves

It’s almost time to send the kids to camp! They'll have a blast playing sports, doing crafts, and enjoying the outdoors. You'll miss them but be prepared for those calls about being hot, bored (are they serious!?), or having itchy bug bites. We're here to help with all those camp dilemmas and add a little extra fun too!

LED PARTY IN A BOX
Let's celebrate any day with this party box for a fun time during 4th of July, Color War, or just any night in the bunk! You're not a regular mom, you're a cool mom, Start the party here.

Bunk Party All Night Long

Cool Pad

I remember asking (ehem PLEADING) for a clip-on fan for my bed. The summer nights start off cool but then get warmer and all turning sweaty in your sleeping bag (my dad always sent army supplies….….he meant well but the mummy bag, military canteen and itchy wool blankets weren’t exactly a cool kid vibe, pun intended :). I remember longing for my bed at home and thinking - “whoever invented air conditioning is GENIUS”.

Enter the Opal Cool Pad

This thing works. I couldn’t believe it. I normally have to sleep with AC or I’m a hot mess. Unlike ice packs that start uncomfortably cold and then warm up quickly, Opal maintains a consistent, comfortable cooling temperature. Even better – you can wear these directly on your skin.  

When Opal Cool comes in direct contact with your skin, the cooling pods gradually pull heat away from your body. Great news: you can reactivate and reuse these over and over again! No fridge required.  Get them here and use code CIRCLE30 for 30% off good until 5/31.

Keep your kiddo cool all summer

The Lip Balm Bracelet
I love mine. It is exactly what it says. This gorgeous little bracelet comes with two lip balm refills. You can also choose reef safe SPF - all of their products are organic. You can swim, shower, run and jump with them and your kiddo will LOVE it (moms and counselors, you too!). Her insta is a fun follow, watch the hysteria here! Shop Get Balmy
