    Pros:
    The registration reports are easy to run and informative. Registrants receive automated confirmation emails with the required paperwork for them to print, complete and upload right to their family portal. We can send group email reminders with the click of a button.
    Cons:
    We run two summer camp programs in different states, and need to log in and out to go between the programs. I wish we could "toggle" between the two camps.

    Vendor Response

    Hi Jennifer, Thank you for taking the time to give us your feedback, it's great to hear that our reports and email reminders have been such timesavers for you! We really appreciate the 5 stars, and hope your summer camps are going well!

    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.

    Reasons for switching to Camp & Class Manager

    We made the switch years ago from a university home grown program because it was taking hundreds of man hours to keep the old system up and running with our growing needs. Active Works was and still makes a smile on our face as we interact with it to our campers.

    Our organization's needs are unique and may not be the most compatible with the Active platform. Customer support is incredibly helpful and while not always able to help circumvent a problem or issue, they do their best.

    Pros:
    I enjoyed being able to generate reports from the rosters is very helpful in generating attendance sheets. Contact information for parents is readily available.
    Cons:
    Some report fields and features are inconsistent, present in some forms and unavailable in others. The "add to cart" system does not translate well with constituents, and customization on the camp registration website is minimal and outdated. Since we rely on registration questions to charge students the appropriate class cost, the discount does not work.

    Pros:
    I love how easy set up is and continues to be, duplicating sessions, changing details depending on which session it is, is so easy. 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.

    Pros:
    There are not a lot of pros. 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.

    Hi Jessica, I am so sorry ACTIVE has not provided you with the exceptional experience that you deserve. Would you kindly reach out to me directly? I am the new Sr. Director of Marketing and I can get you in touch with the right people to get your concerns heard and addressed. My direct email is christina.weitzel@activenetwork.com. We have a new leadership team here at ACTIVE, and we are making many changes to become a more client-centric organization.

    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.

    Pros:
    Camp and Class Manager helps to keep our record-keeping organized and stress-free. We have made the various fields of information work for us in our educational setting, not just our summer camp program. From a monthly registration system point of view, this product is an amazing time saver and organizer.
    Cons:
    The Membership area is a bit confusing because we are not able to get monthly deposit income easily from the members, but there is a workaround we have created. If there were a not-for-profit discount, it would be even more amazing.

    Reasons for choosing Camp & Class Manager

    The willingness to help and spend time overcoming the obstacles of a small, successful camp since 1981.
