Into the Wild (with Bug Spray, of Course): Sending the Kids Off to Camp
There’s a special kind of quiet that settles over the house once the kids are off to summer camp. It’s not just the absence of noise—it’s the stillness of socks not on the floor, of doors not slamming, of snack drawers not being raided with wild abandon.
But behind that peaceful hush is a cocktail of pride, nostalgia, and just a dash of panic: Did I pack enough? Will they remember to brush their teeth? Did I put the bug spray in the right pocket of the duffel?
Summer camp is a rite of passage. It’s where your child goes to become a little more wild and a lot more independent. It’s where lifelong friendships are forged over late-night giggles and flashlight confessions, where kids learn how to canoe, tie knots, roast marshmallows, and—ideally—not get eaten alive by mosquitoes.
From Lice Checks to Life Lessons
Whether it’s a sleepaway camp in the mountains or a lakeside adventure with bunk beds and swim docks, camp is where your little humans unplug from screens and plug into the raw magic of nature. But with that magic comes a real need for preparation: extra socks, a flashlight that actually works, notes from home, and yes—bug spray that doubles as perfume.
Scented Memories (and No Bites)
Our Eau de BUZZ multitasking perfume + bug repellent is the unsung hero of every well-packed camp trunk. Clean, plant-based, and DEET-free, it keeps mosquitoes at bay while letting your child smell like something other than bug spray. Whether they’re hiking trails, canoeing at dusk, or sneaking out to stargaze, BUZZ helps keep the experience beautiful—and bite-free.
Because let’s face it: no one remembers the smell of calamine lotion fondly. But they do remember the first scent of pine trees and freedom, of lake water and laughter.
Travel Light, Spray Often
If you’re the kind of parent who color-codes the packing list (or even if you’re more of a “toss-it-all-in-and-pray” type), consider this your summer camp hack: BUZZ fits perfectly into any travel pouch. TSA-friendly, parent-approved, and kid-tested, it’s a travel essential not just for camp but for all the adventures that come after—family road trips, beach days, hiking excursions, or backyard sleepovers.
Because whether they’re going off to learn how to pitch a tent or to pitch a crush on the kid from Cabin 6, the goal is always the same: let them be free, be wild, be safe… and come home with stories, not itchy ankles.
So here’s to bug spray that smells like summer. Here’s to campfires, cabins, and care packages. And here’s to a little quiet—for you—and a whole lot of adventure—for them.
All Buzz. No Bite. All Summer Long. 🐝
