### "Camp Software by Camp People"

December 20, 2024

4.0

We have loved working with CampMinder. Besides the great software, the responsiveness of the support team and the proactive programmers, CampMinder is also focused on improving Camps through advice and articles about managing a camp. These are real Camp people, not just software people.

Pros

It is flexible enough to tailor to our specific needs and their support is always willing to help you figure out a way to do what you need. They are constantly creating new tools and updating the software.

Cons

The activity scheduling module needs to be improved as it doesn't work for us. Also needs more focus on managing staffing although this is currently in the works and looks to resolve this issue.

### "CampMinder isn’t just software, it’s a team that wants you to succeed"

October 16, 2025

5.0

Everything has a learning curve, and CampMinder was there every step of the way. From the dedicated onboarding team to the payments team and then the client success team, each one brought something special to the experience. Everyone we’ve worked with has been kind, patient, and genuinely helpful. We haven’t met a single person at CampMinder who wasn’t pleasant to talk to or eager to help. Even their \[sensitive content hidden\] are down-to-earth, approachable people who truly get camp and understand what we deal with every day.

Pros

I’ve been working with CampMinder for just over a year now and honestly, they treat you like you’ve been part of their family from day one. You can tell right away they actually care about your camp’s success, not just about keeping you as a client. Their support team is the best I’ve ever dealt with. Every single person I’ve spoken to has been friendly, patient, and really knows their stuff. It never feels like you’re just calling a help desk. It feels like you’re talking to people who are part of your own team and want to help you and your camp thrive. What really stands out is how forward thinking they are with technology. They’re always improving, finding new ways to make things easier, and listening to what camps actually need. You can tell they’re not just keeping up. They’re thinking ahead.

Cons

It can get pretty costly for their top tiers so be sure to utilize all their features to the best of your ability.

Reason for choosing Campminder

We really felt the dedication and genuine partnership from the start, even when working with the sales team. It wasn’t just about what CampMinder could do for us, but also about how our experience could help them make the product even better. That kind of two-way relationship was refreshing and made it clear they actually care about the people using their software.

### "Perfect if you camp has limited sessions."

June 24, 2020

3.0

The culture of the organization seems great, and they are really loyal to and proud of their product. They have grand visions and great ideas for their product as well, but in my experience many of these visions never pan out, or pan out years and years after they're expected, and aren't free. We're a year-round camp with many, many sessions, and the software simply isn't flexible to manage those things with unique applications, and the lack of cooperation for API access makes it worse. If you're a camp that just has a few basic sessions a year, this is probably simple and easy....but for us, this isn't ideal, and product upgrades and development take too long.

Pros

Staff onboarding is great. The staff application, collection of documents needed for onboarding, etc, works really well.

Cons

Not mobile friendly. That is definitely my least favorite thing about it. There are "app" options, and they've introduced some API options, but it makes an already expensive software way more expensive.

### "Best Camp Registration System Ever!"

February 24, 2025

5.0

I would recommend CampMinder to any organization who has a camp of any kind. It is so easy for our customers to use and that is number one to happy parents coming back to register year over year.

Pros

The ease of the navigation, the well trained customer support technicians, the Campanion app... just about everything!

Cons

The new pop-up window that asks if you want to send the confirmation email or not when we are doing a back-office enrollment and processing payment. If payment declines after we select YES in this pop-up box (can't do it before processing payment as the pop-up window appears before this process takes place) then our customers get a total of 3 notifications which is causing confusion, they get the confirmation email we selected yes to send, the payment decline automated email message and then a personal follow up from our camp staff providing instructions to update payment method and making them aware their camper really is not enrolled until we gather a valid payment method. (already placed this feedback into a ticket which was already answered with suggestions to make our confirmation email more clear about payments declining-loved the reply I received with that suggestion!) To piggy back off this a little - when payment does decline the process of placing the camper back on the waitlist or back into the applied status is a little cumbersome. Payment declines>commit changes>session edit>cancel>commit changes>session edit>waitlist/applied>commit changes>email customer - maybe we can auto place people in the applied status when a payment declines through a back-office process just like it automatically does this when a customers payment fails at the time of registration?

Great! Anytime I have Questions, Camp Minder's customer support is always there to walk me through it!

Pros

Love I can do so much on one site! staff, family camp, summer camp, bunk assignments.

Cons

It offers SO much that it takes time to learn it all. Camp minder is great about helping learn and providing resources.

### "New to Campminder"

April 10, 2025

5.0

This is my second season with Campminder. The 1st season everyone was very hands on and helpful during the set-up process. Support after was excellent. They were available to both me and my team during our learning process. I went into the second season unsure because you do not have a "person" assigned to assist you. I did need to put in a couple of help tickets. The response time was quick, the instructions thorough and they provided the links where I can find instructions moving forward. The help resources and searches are easy to use.

Pros

Ease of use on both the administrative and user side.

Cons

Your second season you do not have a live person assigned to help you start your new season for the first time. That would have been reassuring being it was the first time, and I had not been in the system for a long time.

### "Perfect database for camp registration!"

January 22, 2024

5.0

Campminder is a great company to work with because of the quality and functionality of the product and the awesome people who work there!

Pros

Campminder is a great database because they understand the needs what year-round camp professionals need in a registration system. Also, all of their customer service reps are helpful, friendly and quick to find solutions and fix issues.

Cons

They are open to feedback and implementing changes across the entire system but it can take time.

### "A software designed for camps by people who have run them!"

July 22, 2019

5.0

CampMinder has allowed us to get all of our information we need for camp in one place, and to create new, customized reports whenever we need them. The customer service and client success managers have been super helpful in ensuring our first year worked quite smoothly!

Pros

The family accounts make it easy for returning families to apply while ensuring that all of their childrens' information is up- to-date and accurate.

Cons

Sometimes it is a little difficult to find the right settings to make the changes I want.

### "Campminder helped make my first year managing camp great!"

February 21, 2025

5.0

My experience with Campminder has been very positive. I have reached out to CM for help so many times and every time they are always so kind and do their best to get the info I need or to document my suggestions.

Pros

Campminder is surprisingly intuitive--About a year ago, I found myself running registration for and then helping manage a 10 week day camp of around 220 campers per week. I had ZERO experience in camping. Between the fairly easy to follow layout, the help library, and the availability of live-agents, I was able to figure out how to do everything our camp needed me to do. We had a great summer.

Cons

I can't think of many cons to my Campminder experience. There are a few things in the system that seem like they are relics of early iterations that could still be cleaned up. There are processes related to handling registration and payment for 50/50 custody families that could be improved. But it seems like progress is ongoing and the few things I've noticed are likely to be addressed before long.

### "I'd never want to use anything else! "

January 31, 2025

5.0

10/10... Still waiting for an interactive map of cities to display current campers for recruiting. As it is we have to input addresses into another program.

Pros

We have been with Campminder since nearly the beginning. The way it has progressed and become better and better has been awesome. Campminder has always been open to new ideas that help camps better utilize their software for each and every unique situation.

Cons

Not much! They are always on top of their customer service. Anytime we have an issue our tickets are answered very quickly. I do wish the merge tool of multiple accounts was quicker. Perhaps a notification when the system finds two similar accounts.

### "Happy with Campminder"

October 23, 2024

5.0

I find Campminder to be a robust system that can accomplish most tasks in an efficient manner. Overall I feel that it meets about 95% of our needs.

Pros

I like the ease of getting customer support. I called many times over the summer! Each time I spoke to a rep who was able to offer thorough answers to my questions.

Cons

We still have to figure out a better way to use the system to track campers who leave camp. Person Tags and Notes are helpful - but they just don't hit the mark. I would also like the system to better flag camper requests & disrequests when creating bunks. Lastly - when creating reports - the column headers always need to be changed before I can share the data with parents. For example, the column header for a parent email address in a report would be F1P1 Login/Email. If I'm sending a report to parents - I have to change the column headings.

### "CampMinder is a vital system for summer camp management"

July 27, 2024

5.0

Pros

It is so user friendly, and allows me to access so much information in so many ways. The scheduling tab has saved me hours of doing that by hand, and the reports that I can run tell me quite literally everything I could possibly need or want to know. Their customer support is some of the best I've ever worked with as well. I always joke that when I call them I'm calling my "best friends" because they are always so kind and helpful. They are also always very understanding of the hectic environment that a summer camp can be.

Cons

It can be a little overwhelming to learn to use at first, but once you learn it's very user friendly!

### "Campland loves Campminder"

April 23, 2024

5.0

Love it, I met \[sensitive content hidden\] at Conference in 2008 and saw his heart and passion. The camp i was with at the time couldn't afford CM, but I kept them on my radar and was so excited to finally get on board in 2015. I am so grateful at how CM supports my suicide prevention programs - it is truly one of the greatest gifts I've received in my career. Thank you!

Pros

Generally, the customer service is top notch. I prefer to learn via voice and hands on - they excel at this and are never frustrated with my many many questions. The mass communication systems make my emails nuanced and efficient. The setup takes work, but pays off. Minus a few creative workarounds, the system is specific to my program and does more than I could do with other registration systems (I've used them all). Campminder is an extension of the magic of camp. The company values the experiences I provide to children. The annual conference, social media and customer service all reflects this. CM wants camps to succeed

Cons

My assigned rep feels distant compared to other reps I've worked with in my 9 years using CM. It's forced me to learn a lot on my own and has been frustrating at times. The overall user interface is overdue for an update. The parent facing services are difficult to use and find for them. I'd love an updated app that gives notifications to parents for payments, forms, updates and pictures

### "Easy to Use, Versatile, and Great Customer Service"

May 12, 2023

5.0

Having so many parts of our business under one software means that we have a comprehensive understanding of every camper and staff member at our fingertips, which makes it easier to personalize our service and respond to individual needs. Easy reporting means that we spend less staff time on licensing and certification compliance, which is incredibly important.

Pros

Campminder is an all-around tool for our camp, allowing us to track campers as individuals and as part of their families; manage their medical, dietary, and logistics needs; track payments and communications; and also do the same with staff. Any time we have needed assistance, Customer Support has been fantastic, giving us thoughtful and efficient advice and making sure our needs are met. Campminder saves us a lot of time.

Cons

I am pretty sure there are a lot of features that we don't make use of yet, but I just saw that there is training being offered to help camps figure out all the ways the software can help, which one of us will attend.

### "Camp Minder is definitely worth checking into for your company! "

December 14, 2021

5.0

I like Camp Minder because they are willing to help you create , build, solve and to be available to be there for you when you need help!

Pros

I like this software because it has tutorials that can help you create or figure out what you need for your business. It also helps train your staff and it does not require a strong learning curve. Meaning that it is easy to train someone how to use the system . It also provides a way to make some things accessible to your staff and personal things restricted. I also like that you can call someone for help and get help within a reasonable amount of time. I also like the fact that you can add features and work with camp Minder to figure out to add or take away things you want or may not want.

Cons

Like with anything learning a new system and change requires some extra attention and time. Being patient in the creation of putting together what we wanted for our program. Also realizing that we needed to add some things after we thought we had it all ready can be a little frustrating, but be patient and it will be worth it.

### "CM Review"

October 8, 2018

4.0

My overall experience with CampMinder has been great! I think the customer service is awesome! I have used CampMinder for 2 different camps but I have never had proper training, so I tend to teach myself a lot and it's very helpful to have people who are friendly and understanding in the call center to assist! so thanks for that!

Pros

I really like having the ability to pull reports and that they generate quickly. I like that CampMinder isn't just a registration service, but it has budgeting, HR, bunking, travel, newsletters, health center, etc. features. This is really helpful for camps who are not affiliated with an organization such as a JCC or a YMCA.

Cons

That I have to pull a report just to see the number of campers registered in one session rather than clicking on it and a having a roster pop up. I also don't like that CampMinder isn't compatible with many other software services-this makes camps have to do double entries.

Pros

I love that Campminder keeps many years of information in one place. If I ever need to know anything about a past participant, I can find it on Campminder. I love the reporting function. I can pull reports with very specific parameters which helps me stay organized.

Cons

Pulling reports on Campminder requires you to memorize tons of codes. Once you have them memorized, it's a wonderful tool.

### "Mostly Good"

October 12, 2018

4.0

CampMinder has revolutionized the way we manage camper paperwork, check in and check out procedures, and health care at camp. Using CM has allowed me as the director more time to interact with campers and less time spent in the office.

Pros

CampMinder is very easy to use if you are even remotely tech savvy. I love the instructional videos and the articles to help you understand how to set up the system. Tracking a person's history with our camp programs is awesome, allowing us to maintain years of records at our fingertips. Reporting is straight forward and time efficient. I like the bulletin features and being able to tag other colleagues and communicate in a way that directly links to a person's profile page.

Cons

It does not meet all our needs as an organization. We need a way to manage property reservations outside of summer and were told that was platform was being added to CM. We have yet to see it and therefore need to pay for yet another software platform. The customer-facing side, CampInTouch, is clunky compared to other companies and the ability for camps to customize what customers see is limited. Our most common questions revolve around camper guardians being unable to find information packets on CampInTouch, in part because they blend in with camper paperwork. It seems like CM was designed more for large east coast style camps where the campers stay for several weeks. There are far less useful features for those of us who have one-week sessions.

### "Campminder User"

January 5, 2021

5.0

Pros

As the Executive Director of a non-profit summer camp and retreat center, I am constantly pulling up data from one of our camper families or donor families (i.e. last time they were here, what programs do they attend or which services they purchase. We have used Campminder as for our registration software for about 10 years now. It is reliable and provides me with the relevant information I need. As with all software, it takes a little bit to learn how to navigate, but we have had excellent customer service and it is a good value for a mid-sized operation. In addition to using their software to register over 3000 campers each summer. We also make good use of their staff onboarding and management tools. We process over 150 applications for seasonal summer jobs through Campminder. Applicants submit their application, W-2s, I-9, and background screening forms, etc., all online through Campminder. If someone is missing paperwork it notifies them. This saves us so much staff time and headache.

Cons

If we could improve one thing about CampMinder: we really wish it would integrate with Zapier to further streamline our marketing and social media efforts.

Simply put: the power! CampMinder has a modular system that should be able to fit any camp of any size. From billing to medical to simple camper registration it can do it all. While it can take some time to learn things, their website and manual are very helpful. And their customer service is second to none and if you can't find an answer yourself, they will help you. We are a camp with over 1,000 unique campers per summer and CampMinder makes things a breeze.

Cons

So, it isn't the software itself, but their advanced documentation is lacking. There have been instances when frontline customer service said something wasn't possible and i was able to figure out how to do it. That isn't ideal. Also, their support for divorced or separated families is not ideal.

### "Love CampMinder"

October 5, 2018

4.0

The software is very easy to use and each summer when I get seasonal help, there isn't an issue with someone learning it at all. Customer service is great. Have been waiting for the groups/family module since 2011 though when we first signed on with CampMinder. The company has become very popular and the number of camps using the software now leads to LOTS of requests for updates and changes so it sometimes takes a long time to see a change because everyone wants the same info but in a slightly different way or more detailed, etc. Still I am very happy with CampMinder.

Pros

The ability to basically create almost any report that we need. In comparison to the last software product that we used this is miles ahead. The customer service is awesome. Everyone is helpful and professional, friendly and they make sure that they get an answer for you. Have been with them since 2011.

Cons

We do run into issues at the end of the season with trying to find out exactly what funds we brought in. Simpler way to see exactly what money you took in as a total without running all the charges, credits, discounts, etc. Also waiting for the groups and family module to be available and hope that it will be separate from the camping side.

### "Campminder is an excellent tool for the camping industry."

January 4, 2022

5.0

They do a great job of responding to the needs of our camp as well as the camping industry.

Pros

It provides a space for all the necessary information that is needed for our program. The Campminder Team is always developing tools that meet the needs of the camping industry. We particularly appreciate the ability to add questions, components that mee the needs of our special needs camp.

Cons

Honestly, the cost but that is because we are a small camp.

Reason for choosing Campminder

It is very comprehensive but also allows for individualization for our special needs camp.

### "CampMinder review"

November 10, 2022

5.0

Fantastic - has improved the experience for our admin team as well as parents and staff.

Pros

Very comprehensive, plenty of features to accommodate a variety of different camp structures (day camp, overnight camp, etc.). Powerful reporting features make the platform even more customizable. Transportation module works very well for day camps. Email/communication with parents and staff works great and allows us to customize mass emails and save time.

Cons

Sometimes there are long load times - lots of waiting for pages to load. Not able to integrate with other digitals tools we use (Google Sheets, etc.) Sometimes there are too many features (i.e. with medical data collection) that we wish we could turn off.

### "CampMinder is a game changer"

March 4, 2022

5.0

CampMinder has world class Customer Service. You always get a person, never an automated service or voicemail. During our busy season, they are available 24/7 to everyone on my staff and OUR customers. Can't say enough how impactful this is.

Pros

This software impacts every aspect of our camp business. The ease of registration for parents, the collection and processing of payments and overall interface is great. Throw in their robust reporting platform, new Campanion App and it's everything we need (and more that we didn't know that we needed).

Cons

That we didn't start using it sooner!!!!

Reason for choosing Campminder

Everything listed above.
