A surf camp or youth surf team needs apparel for reasons beyond pride: a matching tee makes it easy for instructors to spot campers on a crowded beach, gives kids something to show off after a week of lessons, and gives parents an easy answer when a camper asks for a souvenir. Ordering it does not need to mean chasing down twenty parents for shirt sizes.

Ordering for a Full Camp Roster

Rather than collecting sizes for every camper by hand, share the storefront link with parents at registration and let each family order the camper's size directly. This removes the guessing entirely for a weekly camp session or a season-long youth team roster, and there is no minimum order tying the camp to a fixed headcount.

Design Ideas for Camp Apparel

Designs that work well for youth surf camp and team apparel: a camp mascot or simple wave graphic kids recognize instantly, the camp or team name in a bold readable font, and the session dates or year printed small on the sleeve so each summer's shirt looks a little different without a full redesign.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can parents order directly instead of the camp collecting sizes?

Yes. Share the storefront link at registration and each family orders the camper's size and color directly.

Does the camp need to buy shirts for every camper upfront?

No. Since there is no minimum order, the camp can let families order individually or place one coordinated order for the full roster.

What is the lowest-cost youth item to start with?

The youth Airlume cotton tee at $19.88 VIP base is the lowest-cost entry point for a camp or team lineup.

Can a youth team add a small margin as a fundraiser?

Yes. The team or camp sets the retail price and keeps the margin above the VIP base cost on every shirt sold.
