What does onboarding actually take for a camp switching mid-season?

Two weeks if last year's roster is clean, four if it isn't. The work is almost never the software — it's getting the data out of whatever it's currently trapped in.

Where does your product genuinely not fit a camp's workflow?

Camps under about 80 campers. The setup effort doesn't pay back at that size and we say so on the first call.

What do camps most often get wrong in their first season with you?

Building too many session variants. Start with three and add more once you can see what families actually pick.

What does support look like on a Saturday in July?

A live person on chat 8am to 8pm Central through June and July. That's the one stretch of the year we staff differently.

What integration do camps ask for that you don't have?

A native health-records integration. Camps export to CSV for that today and it's the request we hear most.

What does onboarding actually take for a camp switching mid-season?: Two weeks if last year's roster is clean, four if it isn't. The work is almost never the software — it's getting the data out of whatever it's currently trapped in.

In their words

We do one thing: the season. Registration, payments and rosters live in the same ledger, so a cancellation two days before a session posts the credit the same day rather than at month end.
