The Patches

Her first summer at camp, each camper will arrive with the official Somerset navy blanket, featuring our red logo and her embroidered name. Campers will bring their blankets back each summer, and, over time, this blanket will become the canvas that tells the story of a girl’s time at Somerset.

Every summer, campers will receive patches commemorating their bunks, teams, milestone trips, achievements in activities, and weekly recognition to those who have exemplified our rings. This one simple everlasting garment will forever remind a camper, long into adulthood, of the time she was a Bunny, the day she first water skied, slept under the stars, starred in a play, or the moment she discovered the true meaning of friendship.

There is no “right” way to arrange your camper’s pathces on her blankets. Some do circular groupings in different corners while others choose to line them up. What we do suggest is that all the patches from a specific year are with or around the annual blue oval patch. Because only some patches have a year on them (specifically teams), every camper receives this annual blue oval patch and by keeping all the patches from a given year near the blue one, it’s a helpful reminder of the year a camper was in a certain cabin or celebrated an achievment. However you choose to arrange the patches, you’ll end up with a spectacular keepsake full of amazing memories!
