Why STEM camp hoodies sell year-round
A camper tee gets worn in the summer and goes in the drawer. A camp hoodie gets worn from September through April. That is eight months of visible camp advertising on the kid who wears it to school every cool morning. Camp hoodies also drive recruiting: kid wears the hoodie, classmate asks about the camp, mom enrolls her kid for next year. The hoodie pays back across two summers.

Design rules for STEM camp hoodies
- Front chest: small camp logo, 3 inches wide
- Back center: large camp name with year ("ROBOTICS CAMP 26")
