March 6, 2024

For many camps in the early stages of operations, simple available solutions such as common Word docs, spreadsheets, and web forms are convenient tools to stay organized. These tools work reasonably well for a few dozen campers; perhaps even up to a hundred.

But it’s time to THINK BIGGER  if you’re serious about growing your operations and achieving your camp’s mission.

Whether you host a summer camp, outdoor camp, family camp, team-building camp, or specialty camp – here are the top 10 reasons to consider adopting specialized camp management software:
