Partnering with Purpose: The Camp Mahkeenac Story

At Better. by Bluestar, we believe that the best partnerships are built on shared values, thoughtful creativity, and a commitment to making a meaningful impact. That’s why our collaboration with Camp Mahkeenac, a premier all-boys camp in the Berkshires, has been such a rewarding journey. Through custom apparel and promotional products, we’ve helped bring the camp’s traditions to life while ensuring sustainability and quality remain at the forefront.

From team uniforms to special event merchandise, our work with Camp Mahkeenac is all about enhancing the camper experience, celebrating traditions, and outfitting staff and athletes with durable, eco-friendly gear.




Bringing Camp Traditions to Life

Every summer, Camp Mahkeenac fosters teamwork, competition, and lifelong friendships through its legendary Olympics and Green & White Games. These events are cornerstones of the camp experience, and we’re proud to provide custom-designed team apparel that campers wear with pride.

  • Olympics Shirts: Each year, campers are divided into different teams representing countries from around the world. We’ve worked closely with the camp to create vibrant, team-specific shirts that make these competitions even more memorable.

  • Green & White Games Apparel: A time-honored rivalry, the Green & White Games bring campers together for friendly competition, and our custom team shirts add to the spirit and excitement.

Every t-shirt tells a story, and for Mahkeenac campers, these designs become cherished keepsakes of their summer adventures.



Supporting the Team Behind the Magic

It’s not just the campers who need high-quality gear—the staff and lifeguards play a huge role in making camp an incredible experience. That’s why we’ve provided custom, performance-ready apparel for the team members who keep Mahkeenac running.

  • Lifeguard Uniforms: Visibility and safety are key for any waterfront staff, and our custom lifeguard shirts ensure that Mahkeenac’s crew is ready for action.

  • Staff Apparel: From counselors to directors, Mahkeenac’s staff shirts bring unity and professionalism while ensuring comfort throughout long summer days.

When the team looks and feels great, they can focus on what matters most—creating an unforgettable summer for every camper.



Enhancing Athletic Programs with High-Performance Apparel

Camp Mahkeenac takes sports training seriously, offering specialized programs for young athletes looking to level up their game. We’ve helped outfit their tennis and golf programs with top-tier, eco-friendly apparel designed for performance and durability.

  • Tennis Program: Lightweight, breathable shirts that keep players cool and comfortable on the court.

  • Golf Program: Polished and professional golf apparel that’s perfect for long days on the green.

Whether it’s training for the next match or mastering a new skill, the right apparel makes all the difference.




Celebrating Milestones & Lasting Memories

At Mahkeenac, tradition and recognition matter. That’s why we love working on special projects that celebrate camper achievements and long-standing traditions.

  • Early Enrollment Gifts: Thoughtful, branded gifts to welcome future campers into the Mahkeenac family.

  • 5-Year Jackets: A milestone deserves to be celebrated in style! We’ve created high-quality, commemorative jackets for campers who’ve spent five summers making lifelong memories.

Every product is designed with purpose, durability, and sentiment, ensuring that Mahkeenac’s traditions continue to inspire campers for years to come.



Looking Ahead

Our collaboration with Camp Mahkeenac is a testament to how thoughtful merchandise can strengthen traditions, unite teams, and enhance the overall experience. As we continue working together, we’re excited to explore new ways to bring sustainability and creativity to camp branding.
