Summer lovers, rejoice! The season synonymous with SPF, warm weather, and vacation is imminent—which means it’s time to consider where the heck to go and what to pack. If you ask Bloomingdale’s, the answer will undoubtedly be a camping trip. I recently accompanied the retailer to Hidden Pond in Kennebunkport, Maine to celebrate its camp-themed Carousel @ Bloomingdale’s pop-up shop, replete with everything you could possibly need to masquerade as a Girl Scout and still look cool doing it.

Among the 53 exclusive pieces, there are sweatsuits, friendship bracelets, coolers, and travel throw blankets from brands including Marc Jacobs, Anine Bing, and Clare V.. To sift through the offerings, we tapped the store’s fashion director Janelle Lloyd to curate her top 10 picks exclusively for ELLE.com. “I love the idea of getting out of my usual vacation comfort zone this summer and into adventures big and small,” she says. “That’s why we curated our summer camp-inspired favorites for everything from weekend getaways to glamping to days at the lake.” Here, shop her 10 must-have camping essentials.
