Office Manager Non-Profit Organization Management ### "Help I'm New to Campwise!" 5.0 Overall Rating 5.0 5.0 Ease of Use 4.0 4.0 Features 4.0 4.0 Customer Service 5.0 5.0 Likelihood to Recommend 10/10 May 9, 2024 I came into Campwise in the busiest season with no training in camp or Campwise. If it weren't for the customer service department, I would not have survived! I had to call them to get help nearly every day in the beginning! They were always kind, gracious, patient and helped me walk through each new thing I encountered. By far the most exciting part of learning Campwise has been the Conference Module. I was able to create contracts and receive deposits back 4-5 months before scheduled events! Before Campwise Conference we were receiving deposits one month before! Receiving those deposits early has been a game changer for our finance department and has allowed us a cash flow during the slower camping season. The Staff Module was added to our camp program this year as well! It's been a huge help in the hiring, contract, background check and organization side of summer staff! The reporting team helped us create our online staff packet! That's a time saver as the Office Manager! Campwise wants you to succeed and they are continually looking for ways to help camps streamline the organizational side of camp. From the leadership to customer service they are there to help you! They become more like friends than just a software company. I am grateful for Campwise and look forward to many more years of working together to make "camp life" the best it can be for staff and campers alike! Pros By far the best part of Campwise is the customer service! I have not encountered any other company, regardless of what they sell, that has customer service comparable to Campwise. No answering machines, no waiting on hold, they are always kind, friendly, and will help with your questions no matter how big or small the importance or how many times you ask! Secondly, the conference module is amazing! It allows us to register people as a group rather than individually. The contracts are professional looking and have increased our deposit returns by nearly 5 months! Cons The financial side of Campwise is by far the most detailed part of Campwise. The varied number of reports that can be run and determining which report is needed can be overwhelming. If you have a financial manager it would benefit them to become familiar with Campwise as well. The ability to find and track the financial information is a huge benefit to our camp.

HD Hannah D. Director of Outreach and Administration Recreational Facilities and Services ### "The Customer Service is Unparalleled" 5.0 Overall Rating 5.0 5.0 Ease of Use 4.0 4.0 Features 5.0 5.0 Customer Service 5.0 5.0 Likelihood to Recommend 8/10 May 6, 2024 Pros It is very easy to get a hold of the Customer Service Department, and they always resolve my issues quickly and completely. Any database & registration software program will have a steep learning curve, and idiosyncratic imperfections or inefficiencies. But the staff at CampWise do a great job of educating their users, and finding solutions to the problems that arise. Cons There is a steep learning curve to figure out how to use CampWise. It is not always intuitive about how to do things, or where to go within the software to do what you need to do. For this reason, I have only trained one other staff person at our camp in how to use CampWise, and that person is only trained in entering donation records (not camper registration management, or other functions). It would be nice (but not imperative) if I could give additional employees access to the program, but the training time makes it easier for me to just do everything myself. Switched from [Sumac](https://www.capterra.com/p/144095/Sumac/) Sumac claimed to offer online registration options, but I found it impossible to set up myself, and their customer service was unresponsive to my requests for assistance and clarification. Alternatives considered [CircuiTree](https://www.capterra.com/p/229110/CircuiTree/) Reasons for choosing CampWise Our Executive Director (at the time) had used CampWise at his last camp. His familiarity with the program inclined us to go with CampWise. Review source Non-incentivized review: any software user can leave a review for any product listed on our site.

Business Systems and Software Analyst Hospitality ### "Solid Event Management" 3.0 Overall Rating 3.0 3.0 Ease of Use 4.0 4.0 Features 4.0 4.0 Customer Service 5.0 5.0 Likelihood to Recommend 5/10 May 2, 2024 Overall we've been happy to be long term users of CampWise. Their support team is very helpful, and they have set up customer solutions for us and our team that are greatly appreciated. I think they are a budget friendly option for many camp grounds or rental facilities Pros It has all of the needed features to sell our shoulder season programs under a few different business lines. CampWise is modular and easy to use, and does include a workable calendar that helps to visualize the upcoming weeks and months. All of our teams can find the general information they need to run successful programs in one place. Cons We would love to be able to color code the calendar by site or area of our property. The colors chosen are at random, which makes it important to name events it a way that indicates what they are for, but that is cumbersome.

The staff are always quick to respond and thorough in providing us service. Cons My least favorite part of CampWise is switching between all the platforms to access what I need in that moment.

Director Religious Institutions ### "Group holds are awesome for camp registration" 5.0 Overall Rating 5.0 5.0 Ease of Use 5.0 5.0 Features 4.0 4.0 Customer Service 5.0 5.0 Likelihood to Recommend 9/10 April 30, 2024 Pros One of the major of the major reasons our camp came to CampWise was the group hold feature. It works flawlessly, if groups want to register for camp but still have the individuals do the actual sign up, CampWise is the software for you. They offer almost every other feature the other major camp management software has, but the group hold is unique to comprise. The cost was in line with the others that we did demos with. Customer support is better with CampWise than it was with our old provider by leaps and bounds. Cons There are a few features we miss that we had with others. Such as requiring a credit card surcharge, the ability to purchase camp store stuff online, and ease of reports. Switched from [CampBrain](https://www.capterra.com/p/79173/CampBrain/) Mainly the group hold feature. But customer support had been dropping at Camp Brain for a few years.

They have been more than willing to talk me through situations, showing me how to use modules and just teach me how to use Campwise to make my life and co-workers lives easier. Pros The Campwise Team is very friendly and knowledgeable. They will help you out with most everything that you throw at them. Cons The reports and parameters for the report can be very confusing.

PK Paul K. Assistant Director Recreational Facilities and Services ### "Feature-rich software with excellent customer support" 4.0 Overall Rating 4.0 4.0 Ease of Use 3.0 3.0 Features 5.0 5.0 Customer Service 5.0 5.0 Likelihood to Recommend 7/10 May 31, 2022 We have enjoyed working with the team at CampWise. They have grown with us and added lots of new reporting features that will make it much easier for new customers (we have been with them for over 10 years). The software is a great tool in streamlining the work of a small office team. Pros I love the ability to track registrations, rentals, donors, staff, financial accounts in one database. We have migrated all of our data and processes to take advantage of Campwise features, and benefit greatly particularly from the registration/booking and invoice tracking. Cons Some customers have found the online portal frustrating to navigate. It may be that they're trying to skip steps... On the office side, it has taken quite a bit of set-up to really take advantage of the automation possibilities. But now it has streamlined a lot of our tracking and communication. Alternatives considered [CampBrain](https://www.capterra.com/p/79173/CampBrain/) Reasons for choosing CampWise At the time that we switched (and maybe still), CampBrain did not have as many features for Conference/Rental or Donor management.

Sales man Sporting Goods ### "There is no place for rest simpler than this" 5.0 Overall Rating 5.0 5.0 Ease of Use 4.0 4.0 Features 5.0 5.0 Customer Service 5.0 5.0 Likelihood to Recommend 5/10 August 12, 2021 I don't know what to say but there was a quick response to us so that we could book this program next year. Pros There are a lot of things that I liked, but I will try to be brief.. It is a really great place and has features such as the system and speed. We were preparing the data very quickly and this did not take much time, it was just fast.. Also, there was a lot of interest in us, And in light of the Corona pandemic, there was a system so that injuries would not appear to us. It is a wonderful place and I hope to try it again Cons I just didn't see anything difficult or bad, I just had a good experience Review source Non-incentivized review: any software user can leave a review for any product listed on our site.

" 4.0 Overall Rating 4.0 4.0 Ease of Use 4.0 4.0 Features 4.0 4.0 Customer Service 5.0 5.0 Likelihood to Recommend 7/10 December 1, 2020 CAMPWISE always sticks with whatever issue we have until it is satisfactorily resolved. Pros This year we not only had all the craziness of dealing with the COIVD-19 pandemic we also had major staffing transitions that made us very dependent on the CAMPWISE support team. They went out of their way to make sure we stayed afloat and did not drown. We could not have made it without them going the extra mile for us and I am very grateful! Cons We have a list of program options that in themselves have different options so the reporting can be a bit complicated. However, CAMPWISE is always willing to created reports for based on our individual needs. Switched from [CampBrain](https://www.capterra.com/p/79173/CampBrain/) We needed something that would work better with our Conference and Retreat business and more customizable. Reasons for choosing CampWise It was going to work better with our many different programs we offer.

We are incredibly happy with our decisions. The product offers pretty much everything that we are looking for and many items that we were not looking for. Hands down the best customer service I have ever experienced with a software. The staff sincerely care about their customers. Pros Wide range of products: Registration, back end management, staff management, reports, mobile apps: point of sale, check-in, medical. Customer Support is bar none the best. Cons Detailed reporting requires VPN access. Reasons for choosing CampWise Price, product and service.
