### "Best Software Out There"

September 27, 2021

5.0

The best system out there & I've used a few!

Pros

Its easy to use, highly refined (offer's features that I didn't even know I needed), and amazing customer support.

Cons

They're very attentive to the needs of the customer and quick to make adjustments for us, if needed.

### "CM review for 2018"

October 9, 2018

5.0

I have used Camp Minder since 2010 and have been very happy with it overall. When I'm not happy, I seek their help and I get excellent customer assistance!

Pros

The amount of things it can do. You can create reports about everything which is super helpful. I also lovet that it keeps all the info after a family uses it, so families can register easier the next time.

Cons

My parents have a hard time navigating it after they have already submitted a registration. It does so much that there are things I don't use.

Hi Marcy, Thank you so much for the review! I'd love to see if there is something like an explanatory email we can create to send to parents and perhaps make their experience better. I'll reach out to you as soon as I have something put together.

### "Outstanding Customer Service"

September 25, 2018

5.0

We have been with CampMinder from the very beginning. Their commitment to helping camps succeed is evident in everything they do. What sets them apart is their outstanding customer service! Their staff is extremely knowledgeable and responsive. This has been true when they were a tiny company and they've maintained this high quality communication as they've grown. CampMinder is continually expanding their offerings. They listen to our feedback and generate a very high quality product. We couldn't live without it!

Pros

CampMinder is extremely robust and I can tailor features to fit my camp.

Cons

Because CampMinder tries hard to make the system work for all camps, it can be cumbersome in places.

### "Great work CampMinder"

October 2, 2018

5.0

We are able to easily track and know our campers and their families through CampMinder. Parents feel well taken care of when they call and we can refer to the details of their child/ last visit.

Pros

Easy to use, great customer service, adaptable the best part is OUR PARENT'S LOVE IT!

Cons

Some fields that cannot be edited. When we first signed on we had a rep who didn't really seem to know what he was doing. I had worked with CampMinder at another camp and knew it's capabilities. This person didn't seem to know the best way to set things up, didn't listen to our concerns and overall gave us some bad advice. We may have switched after that had I not know that it could be better. The next year we got a new rep and it has been magic ever since!

### "Camp Minder Software"

September 28, 2018

5.0

The initial training and help with the framework and set up was flawless and our rep was very patient and extremely knowledgeable. Each and every call I make to customer support, whether it's a quick question, or a complicated problem, the support staff has ALWAYS found a solution to meet my needs!!!

Pros

Once it's all set up, it practically runs itself! There are so many options for reporting and the ease of tailoring reports is a huge bonus over our last software.

Cons

The photo component is not as easy as it could be. Although I am not the one who worked on it this past summer, the set up seemed tedious.

### "CampMinder Review"

February 5, 2019

4.0

Very positive.

Pros

CampMinder makes organizing everything we need easy. Gone are the days of sorting through lists by hand to organize groups, choose activities, and manage staff. With Campminder's easy to use category and bunking system, we are able to organize our groups and staff by the categories that we want.

Cons

Though it is efficient in generating lists, CampMinder can be extremely slow when we have to run larger reports and generate full roster attendance lists. Though this feature has improved in the last three summers. We have also received some complaints from parents on the difficulty of being able to update their information from summer to summer.

### "CampMinder Review"

October 2, 2018

4.0

Overall, CampMinder has been an amazing addition to our organization. We love using the system, and we love how much simpler it has made our registration processes.

Pros

I love the functionality of the system as a whole. It's so unique to have communication, family information, camper information, and so much more all in one place. And you can report on every single piece of that!

Cons

I do wish there were levels of supervision. We use the system nationwide with partners and it would be great to have a "super user" and then be able to restrict other users, or see changes they have made in the system.

Review Source

Response from Campminder

October 9, 2018

Hi Megan, Thank you for reviewing us! The idea of a super user is pretty awesome and I hope you've gone to our Community page to add that to our Ideas section. This will allow us to see how many camps would like something like that added and we will look deeper into it. Just click the red life-raft in your icons section!

### "Best in the business!"

October 2, 2018

5.0

We have been with CampMinder over a decade. The deep integration between forms and back-end data has enabled us to provide more accurate and timely service to our camp families. From registration to payment, health forms and transportation, the system has us covered. Staff enjoy easy application and hiring forms management too.

Pros

Easy to use with powerful features. Our families and administrative staff alike, enjoy and rely on CampMinder.

Cons

Marketing (Lead) features could benefit from some renewed focus and development. E.g., more robust marketing campaigns (email/calls/mail).

### "Why Camp Lantern Creek chose Camp Minder"

September 25, 2018

5.0

I cannot say enough about the service /camp Minder offers. From the on line tech support, the phone lines, and even a personal visit this past summer. They do not make me feel less than, even though compared to most, I am a small client!

Pros

The best thing about Camp Minder is how complete it is. I feel very secure knowing that Camp Minder continues to improve their security, their product and making it as user friendly as possible. I have everything in one place and can access my information from anywhere.

Cons

The only negative for us, is the inflexibility of my business, because we are small, to utilize everything CM has to offer.

### "YMCA of Greater Boston Overnight Camps"

October 4, 2018

5.0

I love the customer support that Campminder offers. Every time I call they are more than helpful. Each person I, or someone on my team, have spoke with has given the information or solution I need. They never make me feel rushed or that my question may have an obvious answer. More than not I leave with more than I called in for. Many times the customer support rep will go above and beyond to teach me something new and exciting as well as support my call in needs.

Pros

Ease of functionality. The whole program is very easy to navigate yet it allows us to do complicated things.

Cons

My biggest issue with Campminder during this first year of having the service was the way we ran the medical side of things. We found it very repetitive and challenging for our parents. I am hopeful we can work together with Campminder to find a solution that creates ease for our camper families and allows for adequate information for our nursing staff.

### "Great customer support"

October 11, 2018

4.0

Pros

We currently use the staffing module and it has saved us a ton of time being able to handle everything through CampMinder.

Cons

Our summer registration process is unique. Therefore, the camper module doesn't 100% fit our needs.

### "Good & Reliable Camp Database"

October 9, 2018

4.0

Pros

CampMinder has many pros: -User friendly -Very kind and helpful customer support team -The amount of data you can collect and sort is enormous

Cons

Two main improvements that are critically needed: 1. The database is not currently sensitive to individuals with untraditional gender expressions. 2. They need to create a way to directly embed images/pictures into emails sent through the system (currently you can only embed images from a website)

### "Great program"

October 12, 2018

5.0

I am happy with CampMinder. I am still learning the system and get more excited as I discover new things and ways to capture information. Customer Support is always there to help create reports, explain things and they have always gotten me an answer.

Pros

User-friendly. Helpful pre-built reports. Easy to build reports to capture anything you want. Saved reports auto update as things change/progress. Multiple partitions within the program to manage campers, staff, alumni, financials among others. Customer Support is amazing. Always helpful. They have extended hours during the summer too!

Cons

Nothing that would prevent me from preferring another program or recommending CampMInder to another.

### "Cheers for CampMinder"

October 10, 2018

4.0

Parents love the CampInTouch photo gallery and email options. Walden added a camp store BECAUSE CampMinder made it easy to run one. The response from the CampMinder help desk is swift and NICE. I can direct parents to their support team without worrying that my client is going to interact with some cranky IT person. That's a huge relief.

Pros

CampMinder's software is intuitive and easy to learn. It literally runs our camp, making tasks such as enrolling campers, assigning cabins, collecting camper information, billing and communication quite simple and often seamless.

Cons

Do I like re-creating my sessions and cabins each year? No! But if it's the price I have to pay for all of the other benefits, then so be it.

### "Easy to use and constantly improving"

August 27, 2019

5.0

This software is light years ahead of the proprietary DBIII program we were using.

Pros

I appreciate the ease of use (once you've figured out the lingo), along with the fact that CampMinder listens to it's users and upgrades and improves the software is key.

Cons

The lingo can be difficult to understand for the user. For instance, new users may have a hard time differentiating between "Enrollment Management" versus "Camper Management"..

### "The leading camp management software for a reason"

October 3, 2018

5.0

This is a very professionally produced product, made by camp people for camp people. Intuitive design that allows us to easily manipulate camper and family data, track enrollment trends, and keep on top of the day to day running of camp.

Pros

Anything that we want to do with CampMinder we have found an easy way to achieve it. Very helpful customer support and great online training when we were first getting started.

Cons

During the summer our internet connection is poor, which is a slight disadvantage for any web based program. It would be nice to have a simplified off-line component that would be resident on a computer for times when the summer internet service is down.

October 5, 2018

4.0

Fabulous!

Pros

Overall ease, intuitive features, and fabulous, fun customer support! Oh, and CampMinder camp of course - don't miss it, especially if you're new!

Cons

As office manager for a very large overnight summer camp, I periodically run into areas where CampMinder doesn't yet offer a feature that would be very helpful to us. They are always very responsive to this feedback for their lists of new areas to develop, however.

### "User Friendly on all sides"

May 19, 2019

5.0

Donors, staff, campers, families, adult campers, alumni are all in the same system. Brilliant.

Pros

Back side and front side are both wonderfully crafted and the ease of use is phenomenal. I've used 5 other camp registration software platforms and this one has far surpassed the others. Customer support, parent/family support, and staff support are all exceptional. Friendly, knowledgeable, and quick. It also allows us to use ONE software for all our data, donors, campers, families, adult campers, staff, volunteers, alumni and more.

Cons

Still building out certain aspects but this really isn't a con when you see the potential they are creating. They haven't stopped building which means they are moving forward rather than stagnating.

October 3, 2018

CampMinder has helped us solve many problems at camp. It is easy to have everything we need in one place. CampMinder has helped us analyze our clientele and create marketing reports in order to further reacher new markets.

Pros

I love how there are so many features to CampMinder. I find something new on CampMinder almost every day. The customer support is amazing. They are always available to assist you and walk you through their website.

Cons

There are certain things I wish I could customize to our camp on CampMinder.

October 3, 2018

5.0

Amazing customer service, great product, overall win.

Pros

CampMinder is so feature rich, it'll be the only program you need to run every facet of your summer camp. The previous program I used left a lot to be desired. When I had my first phone meeting with CM, I had a list of questions that began with "Can CampMinder....." or "Does CampMinder....." followed by what I wished the other program had. EVERY ANSWER WAS YES! We've been with CM for going on three summers now, and I love it!

Cons

I wish I could BCC on communications sent from CM, and that adding graphics into e-mail messages was simpler.

### "Support & Ease"

January 16, 2019

5.0

Excellent. Has helped with not having to create care, medication, and general reports by hand as we have in the past. Allows us also to work on a cash basis but know who owes us money again without having to track by hand.

Pros

The system is easy to use, once you have it set up. And can easiliy be navigated even without being fully trained. Help videos are great to teach you the program. But the support of CampMinder staff is phenomenol. They go above and beyond to help you navigate any issues you have.

Cons

Our camp has a special situation with children and adult campers with disabilities who have a variety of living situations, and guardianship situations. System doesn't fit exactly to our needs but with CampMinder staff have found ways to make it still work well.

### "Great Product! "

October 5, 2018

5.0

Our enrollment has exponentially grown since we started using CampMinder and I think their product has played a large role in that growth.

Pros

I love that CampMinder seems to always be one step ahead of the game when it comes to a solid Camp Management software. They really seem to get it and are laser focused on delivering a product that will grow with you over the years and not a product that you will grow out of.

Cons

They have a few minor design choices that are a little puzzling, but the greatness of the product far outweighs those.
