Reminder to families: while gear is not mandatory, we do ask that your camper have a few pieces of CSW gear for picture day, off camp trips, and Color War.

2.
Zen Girls Shorts

These shorts were staff favorite that every camper who saw them was jealous of. The fit is flattering, the fabric is sturdy, and everybody who owns a pair always comes back for a second. You won’t see a single counselor on picture day wearing anything else.

3.
Reversible Mesh Pinnie

You may not believe us, but we swear it’s true: we had parents call camp saying, “He looks like he’s having so much fun, but has he been wearing that pinnie everyday??” The answer is yes: if they own the pinnie, they’re giving it good use. This airy, comfortable, and sleek pinnie is a boys side favorite for a good reason.

The Flannel Pants

If you go to Upper Camp breakfast you may think we’re a uniform camp with how many campers are sporting these flannel cozy pants. After getting our own pairs — we get it. Everything Camper understands camp clothing, not just during the day, but for the whole session, and these pajama pants are the perfect weight, fabric, and durability for a summer at CSW.
