Welcome to the Camp Shopping Channel — From One Camp Director to Another

For more than 25 years, I’ve been a summer camp director. I’ve spent my career creating programs that ignite curiosity, helping staff find their purpose, and watching thousands of campers grow into confident, capable humans. Camp is more than a job—it’s a calling, a lifestyle, and a community. It’s where I learned how to lead, how to listen, and how to solve problems with a flashlight, a walkie-talkie, and a budget that never quite made sense.

And if you’ve been in camping as long as I have, you know one truth: running a camp means wearing every hat imaginable. One minute you’re managing staff conflicts, the next you’re trying to find 200 lanyard kits that ship in three days. I created the Camp Shopping Channel to make at least one of those jobs easier.

This platform was built for camp professionals, by someone who’s been in the trenches. I know what it’s like to scramble for last-minute supplies, to waste hours hunting down a bulk deal on program supplies, or to wonder if that new STEM activity kit is worth the hype. The Camp Shopping Channel brings together vetted vendors, camp-tested products, exclusive pricing, and fresh ideas—all curated with one goal: to support the people who make camp happen.

We feature everything from art supplies and snacks to rainy-day programs and large-scale event kits. We host live shopping experiences, highlight innovative products, and connect you with brands that understand the magic—and the madness—of summer camp.

This isn’t just a store. It’s a resource. A tool. A partner. It’s here so you can spend less time chasing down supplies and more time doing what matters: creating unforgettable experiences for your campers.

Welcome to the Camp Shopping Channel. I’m so glad you’re here.
