Getting Ready for Summer Camp

The holidays are here, the sun is shining, and your child is about to set off on their summer getaway.
To help them get organized (and to avoid last-minute packing stress), PPMC offers a wide selection of practical and stylish accessories: bags, pouches, cases—everything they’ll need for a smooth, worry-free stay.

Here’s our guide to help you prepare the perfect summer camp kit.

The Foldable Backpack: A Teen Essential

A backpack is a must-have for any summer camp trip.
At PPMC, we have two foldable backpack models that are lightweight, smart, and perfect for tweens and teens. Available in a variety of colorful prints, you're sure to find one that suits your child’s personality.

Best of all, it folds into itself to save space in their sports bag. With adjustable straps, it’s comfortable for all body types and great for day trips.

The Toiletry Bag: Essential and Organized

No camp trip is complete without a toiletry bag.
Ours is made from coated fabric, which makes it easy to clean. With two compartments and two interior pockets, there’s room for all the essentials: toothbrush, toothpaste, soap, shampoo...

Lightweight and durable, it’s ideal for summer camp or a weekend at grandma and grandpa’s.

Small Accessories to Encourage Independence

Summer camp is the perfect time to build independence.
Slip a gusseted coin purse into their bag with a bit of pocket money—they’ll love managing it on their own.

And don’t forget an eyeglass case to protect those sunglasses. Our padded, colorful cases help keep lenses safe from sand, scratches, and falls.

With these summer camp essentials from Papa Pique et Maman Coud, you can be confident your child is all set for their adventure—well-prepared, organized, and proud to do things on their own.
