I need tips from a savvy and experienced camp shopper . My daughter is going to camp for the first time and obviously needs a lot more weekday clothes than she’d have otherwise . Her things will most likely get ruined. I cannot stomach spending 50$+ per weekday outfit ( skirt plus shirt combined will typically equal that at a bare minimum, usually more !!) . Where do I shop for basic camp type stuff for cheap prices , but that won’t be nebby for lack of a better word ?

Yes, it shouldn't take more than a week or two. Links coming up. Some I ordered and some are just in my favorites.

For tops, they only wanted these in multiple colors:

(there was another really nice one I was gonna post, but it sold out!)

If anyone has links for denim skirts with no back pockets that worked for them, please post.

My girls didn't complain. You can look at the material, some might be cotton blend. For the most part the materials are light and airy.

Definitely try shein.
Whatever isn’t good you can return.
Returns are free and easy with shein.
Local stores having sales now-

Junees- look online because they have lots of online sales or go to the store but there’s probably more available online.
We did well with junees - $10 a shirt

Clover

Periwinkle has camp racks for $28 a piece

Does your daughter still fit into totini?

Ty all!! So helpful! Yes she does still fit into tottini size 16, which leads me to my next question.. how does the sizing work on shein? I see the kids stuff mostly goes up to 12, occasionally 14 and then womens. So is the XS womens ( size 2) really like a teens 16?

Go by the measurements. Each item has measurements listed for the size. My very skinny, about 5 foot 14 year old usually fits into the size 0 or 2.
