What is your favorite water bottle? (going to GS Camp!)

[Corie]

Okay, so I am headed to Girl Scout camp with my daughter this weekend.
I need to bring water bottles for us.

What are your favorite water bottles?

I looked at Target today and there are many varieties, brands, styles, etc.
and I got confused.
Plus, I was running late and I didn't have time to stand there looking at
them all.

Any help would be most appreciated! Thanks!!

I use a Camelbak bottle and love it. http://www.camelbak.com/sports-recreation/bottles/better-bottle-5l.aspx

I have a Sigg and I like it.

Sarah has this one because she doesn't like drinking out of the Sigg:

I got it at Target. Hers is pink though. We clipped a carabiner to it.

She got back on Saturday from a week at GS sleep away camp! She did awesome. :)

Holy Cow!! A week at sleepaway camp? I'm totally impressed! :)

Our GS camp is called "Me and My Gal". It is for the Girl Scout
and her Mom.

We'll see how we do. :)

Melissa,

Where did you buy it? I like my color options. :)

Amazon has loads of colors.

I got a Camelbak after reading one of the recent water bottle threads here. I just placed another order for three more b/c DH, Amaya and the baby won't keep their hands off of it. If the Camelbak is around, nobody will drink out of anything else. I couldn't believe that the baby could work the bite valve (it was tricky for me at first), but it must require a similar action to nursing, b/c he is a pro. We are passing up the sippy cup and going straight to the Camelbak.

Unfortunately, I have waited to the last minute and I need our
bottles by Friday. I don't think I would get my Amazon order
by then.

They do have LOTS of colors though!!!! :)

I like the Thermos Foogo SS straw insulated bottles and I also love my insulated Polar bottles (your local bike shop should carry these), they are made from a, "safe" plastic and I like how you can take apart the mouthpiece so you can wash it thoroughly.

Corie, Sarah did great. :) She complained about how the Biffy's smelled, but that was about it.

I tried to urge her toward one of the half week camps and she would have none of it. We did a GS Encampment this spring and she did very well there too and I was there with her to help if she needed it, but she did fine there too so I felt more confident about camp.

That's the exact one DS has, also clipped with a carabiner in blue. He also has a thermos frogo that he really likes, and the playtex straw sippies are pretty good for a cheaper option.

Corie, I bought mine at Dick's Sporting Goods. Maybe REI has them as well or a similar store?

[jacksmomtobe]

Corie,

Camelbacks are in a lot of B&M stores. I've seen them at our local large Whole Foods Store, REI, Dick's Sporting Goods, EMS, City Sports, and lots of biking shops. Hope this info helps!

Melissa,

I just found a Dick's Sporting Goods a few towns over. I'll head there
tomorrow while the kids are at Vacation Bible School.

Do you have the classic cap or the bite valve? What is the bite valve?
It sounds kind of nasty. Like a chewed up pencil. :)

We love these. We got ours at REI but amazon had a huge array of color choices.
