‍Here’s how we can help you run the summer camp of your dreams and potentially double your holiday income. Let’s dive into the benefits.

1. Effortless camp set-up, more time for fun

‍Set up camps in seconds, save time for smiles

‍Imagine being able to set up a new summer camp programme in minutes. Our powerful camps feature lets you add dates, times, and prices with a few clicks from one central location, reducing paperwork and freeing you up to brainstorm awesome activities to keep your little campers happy.

‍Keep your summer camp safe and fun for all

‍Once you’ve got the basics down, set a comfortable maximum capacity to ensure every child enjoys a safe and enriching environment. Use custom registration questions to gather information about allergies or any extra support needed. This way, you can tailor activities and ensure there's plenty of space, resources, and attention for every child to thrive.

‍Make parent communication a breeze

‍Need to share important camp details? No problem! Add notes about themes, what to wear, and other essentials, which will automatically display on the booking page and in confirmation emails. We'll handle the communication so you can focus on making your summer camp a blast.

2. Streamlined management, less stress, more success

‍Say goodbye to overbooking headaches

‍Imagine never having to worry about overbooked camps again. Our booking page works like a magic genie for capacity management. Sessions automatically display as unavailable once they're full, preventing parents from accidentally booking a packed camp. This means no more frantic scrambling to accommodate unexpected walk-ins or worrying about exceeding your safe capacity.

‍Edit anything, whenever you need

‍Need to make changes to your camp schedule? Our powerful camps feature lets you edit everything with just a few clicks. Whether you need to adjust times, add extra days, or make any other tweaks, the system updates your summer camp info instantly. This saves you tons of time and keeps everything running smoothly.

‍Plan ahead for unforgettable memories

‍With our camps feature, you can set booking deadlines whenever you need more prep time or want to avoid unexpected walk-ins disrupting your schedule. For instance, you can specify that parents can book up until noon the day before the camp starts. With everything planned in advance, you can focus on creating a summer camp adventure the kids will love.

3. Public or invite-only? You decide!

‍Endless flexibility for your camp

‍Flexibility is at the core of our camps feature. Considering starting small with a members-only summer camp and then opening it up to the public if spaces are available? Or perhaps you're targeting a specific skill level? We’ve got just the tool for you.

‍Our camp management software gives you complete control with just a few clicks. You can easily switch between public and private camp options at any point. This flexibility ensures you can cater to your existing students while also attracting new campers, making your summer camp a guaranteed success.

4. Flexible camps, happy families

‍Taking convenience to the next level

‍We know families come in all shapes and sizes, and with all kinds of summer schedules. That’s why our camp management software lets you offer flexible options like full-day and half-day sessions to cater to everyone’s needs. Simply select the options you want to provide and become a hero to busy parents who might otherwise struggle to find childcare.

‍You can further simplify life for working parents by offering early drop-off and late pick-up options for an additional fee. This offers much-needed convenience for parents while creating an additional revenue stream for your club – a win-win for everyone involved.

5. Promote your camp and reach more parents

‍Reach more parents with effortless promotion

‍Gone are the days of relying solely on word-of-mouth to fill your summer camps. With our booking software, you get a dedicated booking page for every camp you create. You can embed this page on your website or share the link on social media and in emails to reach more parents. This makes it easier than ever for parents to discover your summer camp offerings and register their kids.

‍Keep everyone informed

‍Staying connected with your camp community is a breeze with our built-in communication tools. Send messages directly to everyone registered for your camp or to specific parents if needed. Whether you're sending reminders about upcoming dates, sharing updates about camp activities, or simply keeping families in the loop about their child’s summer adventures, these tools make communication effortless.
