When it comes to packing for summer camp, you need to be ready for anything!
Bringing a tough pair of gumboots is the easiest way to stay dry, comfy and prepared for every moment of camp life, from early morning hikes to evening campfires.
Summer camps are an incredible opportunity to meet friends, try new sports, and spend quality time in the great outdoors. Boots that feel good from your wake-up call to bedtime make a huge difference in your time away!
Why the Right Footwear Matters for Outdoor Camp Adventures
At camp, you’ll be on the move most of the time, so you’ll want boots that are supportive, flexible, and easy to wear with any outfit!
Here are a few features in our gumboots that make all the difference during long, summery outdoor days:
| Gumboot Feature | Why It’s Great for Summer Camp |
|---|---|
| Waterproof rubber | Keeps feet dry during lakeside activities, dewy mornings, or occasional rain showers |
| Comfy neoprene lining | Maintains all-day comfort and helps to prevent rubbing, even during longer walks or challenging hikes |
| Easy pull-tabs | Make it simple to pull your boots on quickly amid packed camp schedules |
| Durable, thick sole | Provide steady footing on uneven ground, trails, grass, and in woodlands or forests |
| Arch Support | All of our boots come with built-in arch support, so your feet always feel ready to adventure. |
Camp mornings often mean dewy grass, and evenings can get cold, but that’s no bother with a pair of waterproof gumboots!
How Reliable Boots Help You Enjoy Every Camp Activity
The huge variety of summer camp activities is often central to the fun! This means you’ll need boots you can wear for:
- Group hikes and nature walks
- Relaxing around the lake
- Joining in games on the field
- Roasting s’mores around the fire
- All water play activities
- Rainy and muddy summer days
With many U.S. regions seeing a wetter than usual summer so far, durable, waterproof footwear isn’t just nice to have, it’s essential for keeping camp adventures on track no matter the forecast.
Boots you can tug on in a second make it easy to move from one activity to the next.
Choosing Summer Camp Boots Styled for Adventure
Camp style is all about comfort and confidence, from casual, sporty daytime looks to cosy layers for the evening.
Our gumboots come in a range of styles and loads of colors, so you can add a pop or keep it laid back!
You can choose from:
- Our Bobbi Boot: a unisex, functional, and gorgeous ankle boot in shades like sugary Dusty Lilac, ultra-modern Sand or Black, and rich Dark Cherry
- Our Oberon Boot: the D-width fit makes it perfect for campers who want a more generously sized boot that comes in a range of outdoorsy colors from Storm Blue to Stone
- Our Kids Bobbi Boot: the same comfort and durability as the adult style, sized for smaller feet, in fun shades like Fuchsia, Mustard Yellow, and more.
And it’s not just about looks. Cushioned footbeds and grippy soles mean any of these styles stay comfy on rocky paths and open fields, too!
Keeping Little Campers Comfortable, Rain or Shine
Packing for a young camper comes with its own checklist, and footwear is one of the most important boxes to tick!
Whether they’re wading through the shallows or running around during free play, the Kids Bobbi Boot is built to keep up. It’s got the same waterproof rubber, neoprene lining, and easy pull-tabs that make it simple for kids to get dressed independently, no fumbling with laces or buckles required.
The Kids Bobbi Boot is an easy way to make sure your camper’s feet stay dry, comfortable, and blister-free through every scheduled activity (and the unscheduled puddle-jumping in between).
