The C&N UnderGrad Steel Footlocker Trunk
Destined for greatness, the C&N UnderGrad Steel Camp Trunk is built to last through the years! The only steel trunk available in 20 dazzling colors, pick the one that’s a perfect extension of your camper’s personality!
We recommend getting as big of a trunk for camp as you can, so if your camp DOES allow a trunk this big, you can future-proof yourself a bit and get more storage space with the UnderGrad. It’s ideal for longer camp stays—between two and three weeks. Pack all your camp clothes, gear, and other camping supplies with tidy efficiency and assured safekeeping in this large camp trunk.
We stand behind and on top of our footlockers
Built of a solid 3/8”, cabinet-grade plywood, we armor our trunks for camp in steel and dress them in nickel-plated hardware including four crush-proof corners and a slew of clamps to provide structural integrity. Other trunk hardware includes the two basic wire loop latches that secure the lid to the base, the center handle and latch, the two double-wide side handles, two back hinges, and the lid stay on the right side which keeps the lid from falling too far back and damaging your trunk or falling down too fast and hurting your hand.
Camp expert and co-author of , Dr. Christopher Thurber had this to say about trunks for camp: “You want something really sturdy, not the budget trunk you might get at a big box department store but something you can stand on because that’s what kids will do at camp and they don’t want to fall through it.” We know it sounds crazy, but this trunk can withstand 800 pounds of pressure! That’s why our camp trunks are endorsed by more camps than any other trunk for camp!
Yes, you’ll spend considerably more on one of our trunks than you will a plastic tote or cardboard box. That’s because a C&N camp trunk is an investment that you’ll get a world of use out of far into the future. In fact, the trunk YOUR child takes to summer camp could very well be the trunk THEIR child takes to summer camp.
Outside the camp season, this camp trunk makes a cool addition to a bedroom! Store seasonal clothing, valuables, and keepsakes until the next camp season comes around!
Like memories of camp, this trunk will last many years into the future for your child to look back on with nostalgia, bring to dorm rooms, first apartments, new homes, and eventually pass on to their children. Our trunks for camp are an investment that your family can use for generations to come…
Traditional U.S. Steel
A C&N Trunk for camp boast a steel-clad protective exterior sourced from the historic Rust Belt of western Pennsylvania—a community that was forged around the mighty steel mills of the early 1900s. Our traditional steel exteriors are far more resilient than the vinyl or fabric coverings found on other trunks made today. Yes, steel costs more to make, but our 35 years of experience has shown us that steel is best.
