Pros User friendly interface for reporting and collecting registrations Cons Creating certain add-ons in the registration process could be tricky to implement. Switched from [ACTIVENet](https://www.capterra.com/p/115451/ACTIVE-Net/) Same company but offered different rates for use. Alternatives considered [brightwheel](https://www.capterra.com/p/144060/brightwheel/) Reasons for choosing Camp & Class Manager The product name is called Camp & Class Manager so I felt it was the better product.

President Non-Profit Organization Management ### "Works for us!" 4.0 Overall Rating 4.0 4.0 Ease of Use 4.0 4.0 Features 4.0 4.0 Customer Service 4.0 4.0 Likelihood to Recommend 8/10 May 11, 2024 Our Administrative team enjoys the easy of creating and managing our camps from one system. Easy to access reports and statistics and financial details as needed my management. Parents enjoy the ease of online registration. Pros Allows for data online and easy to manage our multiple camps at the same time. Cons Wish there were a mobile version so we could manage while out of the office from our cell phones.

I can add discounts, add coupons, adjust things and pull reports for what I need. Cons I wish I had the ability to change the "share" with friends text and imagery functionality for my customers to share with their friends on socials.

Director Sports ### "Backbone of our camp business" 5.0 Overall Rating 5.0 5.0 Ease of Use 5.0 5.0 Features 5.0 5.0 Customer Service 5.0 5.0 Likelihood to Recommend 10/10 April 7, 2024 Pros All in one platform for every aspect of our camp. It's essentially the "home base" for basically all of our camp operations. We live in Active and it's a critical part of registration/cc processing/reporting. Cons At times we get feedback from parents/players that the registration process is long + lots of options.

Once information is inputted, you can generally customize a report to get the data you need. Cons It is clunky and difficult to use, customer support is non-existent, and we are unable to help our customers problem solve issues with our accounts. Emails don't get sent out randomly, making it impossible to use for communication with our classes.

Please see "Cons:.."section above for reasons. Pros I like the ability in the note section to see previous years notes. I like that we can connect multiple account together for families. Cons We've used the system for close to 10 years but are currently looking for other options on the market due to our prefunds being refunded during each bi-monthly payout for multiple years, difficulty learning about charge backs (and having to complain that Active should follow up with us), wait time for invoices for prefunds (still waiting on several invoices to be sent for 2+ years) and the responses to our inquiries when we run into problems. Each registration year, when registration opens there are software problems. Typically after several weeks we get a general message back saying that the problem did not exist when our customers send screen shots of the incidents and we can provide customer account information and sometimes when incidents occur. Parent information is asked at the end of the form instead of toward the beginning of the form. We ask for emergency contact information and who is authorized to pick up a camper. Through the years, hotline hours have decreased greatly. We cannot see what emails have been opened or bounced, just that some have. Active Advantage - information about the services was not explained very well when it rolled out. We get complaints from our customers that the language to describe the program is confusing. For us to see the Active Advantage section during registration, we have to put in credit card information into the system to advanced to the sections. The fact that we cannot write "credit card" in the notes section now.

Pros Easy for people to sign up from home. Efficient, and detailed booking information. Cons When we have had issues the support team wasn't the best.

We love this system and I would not want to switch to any other! Pros It is easy. We can't "break" it. It is intuitive. This system meets our needs and since we only need it for our summer camps we quickly snap back in to the system each summer because it is so easy to use. We love that it keeps all of our data from year to year and we can quickly and easily compare one year to another. Cons It won't make name tags for us. It won't make car tags for us the way that we want them. Reasons for choosing Camp & Class Manager It seemed the best over all of the other options at the time. And we have NEVER even wanted to look at other options because this system is so each to use and meets our needs perfectly.

Since taking over my organization account, i have reached out on occasion to meet with an account manager but without success. Pros Set-up and Familiarity, mostly. Easy process to get started as we had a time constraint. Cons Guest experience/ registration process, does not cater to all needs Review source Incentivized review: software users are invited to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive for their time and effort.
