Almost perfect but very expensive
Aside from cost, very positive. While it's clunky, they try to improve that each year and listen to suggestions/feedback and actually implement them. They are also always available to help.
PROSWe love the medical aspect, stronger than all other camp software that I've seen so far. I like that campers can register and get all their info in and that it rolls over year after year. Staff are always available for our needs. They also always ask for feedback and have seen some of our suggestions be implemented over the years. CampDoc really was a HUGE game changer for our program in terms of increasing medical safety, increasing camper enrollment, customer service (no more re-doing the same paper forms over and over!), improved data tracking, and reduced admin work when it comes to 'paper chasing' forms. I recommend it to all my camp friends who need a way to keep campers safe medically.
CONSIn short:Has a steep learning curve, clunky/not intuitive, missing a few important med features (but still is better than all other camp software!), SO EXPENSIVE (almost unaffordable) especially for a very small camp (we serve only about 100 campers total).Longer Explanation:After 7 years I still feel like I am stumbling through it or needing to re-look up how to pull specific reports that I feel I should be able to . It just still feels a bit 'clunky' and not quite as intuitive as it should be. If you don't use it every day, it's hard for seasonal staff to learn and re-learn year to year.Cost honestly is the worst part of CampDoc. Price SOARED in just a single year, I mean SOARED!!I wish they had a creative way to make it more affordable for small camps that only operate for a single weekend or serve few campers. I know several camps who had to let it go. My camp honestly can't afford it either, but because the alternative is far to risky (ie more med errors would happen, etc), we won't let it go and cut costs elsewhere.
Reason for choosing CampDoc
I can't remember all the other camp registration systems I looked into, there were a lot, but CampDoc was the only one who had an adequate Medical aspect for our camper's, so truly is the only option for us aside from paper or google docs.

Hi Jami. Thank you for taking the time to provide such a thorough review of CampDoc and for being a long-time customer. Our Training team has recently produced dozens of new brief tutorial videos that should be very helpful to you and your staff. And they also conduct live sessions where CampDoc experts are on-hand to answer any questions. You can view the tutorials and session schedule at support.campdoc.com.

Pretty Good
I like the customization a lot. Customer service is fast and helpful! It seems user friendly for parents as well. Unfortunately we can't use it for registration software but it seems like it would integrate well and other aspects of the software would be useful. The
CONSThere seems to be a lot of issues with the report building - I can never get it to pull everything I need in one single report. I also hate that you can't see attendance lists until the program actually starts. I'm the one who set up our system and I'm pretty tech savvy but it is a little cumbersome. The customer service I've spoken with tend to talk in their jargon which isn't the same as mine so it takes a bit to get things worked out. Our price basically doubled and we were not happy about that. But, we did so much work to get it up and running, we decided to stick with it for a couple of more years. We will look into switching in the future to save some money though.
Reason for choosing CampDoc
At the time it was cheaper. When we officially chose CampDoc, I didn't make the choice so I'm not sure why they were chosen above CampBrain
Vendor Response
Hey Stacey. Thank you for taking the time to review CampDoc. We are making enhancements that will allow more customization options and reporting options. More to come on that very soon. Also, please reach out if you'd like to chat more; happy to discuss how we might make the experience more productive for you and your staff.

CampDoc Review
Overall I think CampDocs is a great software system if your camp has kids that require medicine, etc. their main focus was on the medical side, which we really didn’t have a need for. If they put as much effort into the financial reports as they did the medical, we probably would’ve stayed with them.
PROSI liked the ease of CampDocs. The team responsible for our account was always responsive and available to help us navigate the software.
CONSCampDocs lacked financial reporting. The dashboard never cleared after completing the season, so you’d see this big number but that number was cumulative of how many sales etc. you had since the beginning of time. It was very confusing and made reporting very difficult. Also, you could not enter in your camp seasons/ sessions on your own. Their team had to go in and do it for you, and then there was a testing phase before it went live. Sometimes that made us have to push back registration, which was an inconvenience.
Reasons for switching to CampDoc
We switched because Campium better met our needs for camp.

Probably best for resident camps.
Overall, CampDoc gets the job done.The price is prohibitive for us. We only use the software seasonally for 3-4 months and we also don't use a lot of the components available. We have 5 camps that run 9 weeks so the Campdoc staff can set it up very quickly and easily and it's just a copy of the year before. So really we only use it for camper data and reports of that camper data. We don't use the camper check in feature either. So basically I pay $3000+ to collect camper data. It would be nice if there were fees for components used.
PROSI do like that it gathers all the camper information I need in one location. it is easy for parents to fill out and I like the automatic reminders that are sent from CampDoc.
CONSIt could be more user friendly. It is complicated making reports and groups and it is challenging to get all the information to all my camp locations and the staff there. We do not have computers at our parks so they all need to access it via camp cell phone. I'm not sure CampDoc was designed for municipal programs. Probably works better for resident camps.
Reason for choosing CampDoc
I was at a convention and talked to a salesperson and it sounded like a good match.
Reasons for switching to CampDoc
We did not need the camper check-in component any more.

We Love CampDoc!
I love using CampDoc! It's helped so much with the organization of our programs and it's easier on our families to register for our programs since they don't have to fill out the same information every time they want to attend anymore.
PROSI love the customizable reports and how everything stays organized. The biggest help is how easy it is for our families to register their kids for programs once they've created the account. The Medical Sections are well crafted and gives us as the camp as well as the parents peace of mind that we are fully prepared to care for our students.
CONSI feel our camp has different needs than most camps. At our camp, some students choose to get headshots so if there were a way for us to upload those images to their CampDoc account so I wouldn't have to store them, that would be helpful. We also have some programs that require audition videos for some but not all student and if they could submit their video for us to review and share to other teachers that would be cool. I know we can have them upload videos files but since it's not required for all students, that feels like more of a hassle to do it that way.
Reason for choosing CampDoc
The responsiveness of the CampDoc team to answer all of my questions and they even put me in contact with another camp that uses CampDoc so I could ask questions about the user experience.
Vendor Response
Hi Valerie! Thank you for the kind words. We're very glad to hear how pleased you and your families are with the CampDoc experience. These are great suggestions; our team is always looking for ways to enhance CampDoc with tools that help customers make the experience uniquely their own.

Essential organization software
CampDoc is wonderful. The product is invaluable to our operations, and I am very grateful for the high level of customer service that the team provides to us. They are responsive and flexible to our needs. I have always been impressed by the level of knowledge and professionalism that every member of their team shows.
PROSOur team uses CampDoc at all levels. Hourly camp teachers use it to keep track of the campers on their rosters and to manage food and activity safety. Management uses it to keep camp records and waivers on file. This software is essential to the smooth operation of our camp.
CONSThe software is powerful, so it can take some time to learn and feel like I am using it to its fullest potential. The online training videos are helpful, but it can take a lot of my time in my work day to really understand the tools and resources available to help me learn the software.
Vendor Response
Blair, thank you for the terrific review and high marks. Wonderful to hear CampDoc is working so well for your organization! Our Training team has recently produced a large suite of brief tutorial videos you should find useful for working into your busy day.

CampDoc makes camp so much easier...
Prior to using CampDoc for registering (we no longer use it for registration now, just camp session management) and managing camp paperwork, we used Eventbrite for registration and then had families mail us their paper applications and health forms. This system sometimes led to lost or mis-grouped paperwork and long, extra hours each day to make sure all the paperwork and forms were in order. Using CampDoc saves me hours of time each day during summer camp season, allows me to contact parents directly, and tracks important info that I use for reporting.
PROSMost parents/caregivers find CampDoc easy to use and navigate. All the health forms and pertinent information are easily accessible to me and my camp staff. A highly functional system that allows you to collect, organize, and store the information needed to safely and efficiently run a camp program. Customizable for my needs. Allows me to download data.
CONSSome of the features that I had asked about years ago are now in place (like using CampDoc for attendance), but are offered for an additional fee. CampDoc is well-worth the fee, but a feature like attendance is something that I would imagine every camp program could use; would be nice if it were included in the regular fee.
Reason for choosing CampDoc
Most functional, great customer service.

CampDoc assessment 2022
It's been a bit of a transition since Covid, but my support teams is wonderful and really works hard to understand our business and support our annual changes. We haven't had a "normal" year since 2019, but we are arriving at our new normal.
PROSThe ability for participants to register and pay on-line as well as the digital approach to forms. Online forms saves countless hours during a summer season. It's also easy to print out forms for host venues that require it.
CONSIt would be super beneficial if CampDoc could generate emails that collect data and populate that data into a participants account. For example, as part of our application process applicants must provided a teacher email address. We then reach out to the teacher (using another 3rd party software) and collect a standardized teacher recommendation. We would love to house this data in campdoc so that all of our data is in one system.
Reason for choosing CampDoc
At the time, final forms only did school accounts, not summer camps.

One of the best
For anyone that is using Daxko for your summer camp as a registration system, if your camp is over 60 people, you should be having something like camp doc to help manage information. You don’t know how much extra work you’ve been doing until you see what the system can do.
PROSFrom design to use ability, camp doc is one of the most comprehensive and user-friendly systems for managing camp information.
CONSThe list builder feature has a little bit of a learning curve but once you understand it, it makes sense.
Reason for choosing CampDoc
Camp space is one of the worst camp programs I’ve ever seen. If we were using one system without having to go back-and-forth between two, I would have picked Camp Brain but in the situation where we have to use our other system Camp Brain was too much.
Vendor Response
Wow Josh many thanks for the terrific review! And REALLY big thanks for calling out the CampDoc - Daxko integration. Awesome to hear it's making life easier for you and your staff. Have a wonderful camp season.

This is what you need if you have camp program
Where do I start. We have campers all around California and out of state. Our old system was complicated, not user friendly and parents would have to mail or email us additional forms. With CampDoc everything we need from parents are all in one place. If parents forget to sign or fill out, we can just email them to go in and take care of the issue. On the back end - user friendly for staff. Everything they had to do on paper now can be done online from assigning cabins, reviewing special request, rosters, etc.
CONSAt the beginning it was a challenge with the integration with our current software. the Communication between three parties was challenging but at the end it was worth it.

This is the second year my camp has used the CampDoc.com program.
Consistency with the year before (previous campers), medical information at our fingertips, ability to sort in a variety of ways and pull lists from the sorts.
PROSEase of use, eMAR is very well thought out (I know we aren't using it to it's fullest capacity, but we find it great for our needs, filters to narrow down specific populations are excellent and came in handy daily.
CONSCustomer support was very much a disappointment this year compared to last. Parents were told to call the help line, advertised with very broad hours, yet the line was often not picked up by a person or parents were told to call our camp by the help line. This caused distrust among the parents about entering in their children's medical information in this system. The representatives also seemed less willing to help our staff this year when called with problems, less educated on problem solving, and at times, short on the phone or by email with our staff. I'm not sure what the change was from last year's wonderful experience, but it definitely affected our experience this year. We will most likely use this program again, and we are hoping for a better overall experience.

Great software and our parents loved it!
I have only heard positives from our staff. Obviously, there was a learning curve and we had internet issues at our site, but after that things went smoothly. I had a question one day and reached out to your support staff. They responded quickly and with an easy to understand answer!
PROSOur director just sent out a summary of the parent questionnaires. There is one question on our eval form specifically about registration and here is what we heard back from our parents: Pre-camp Registration: Very easy to do; easy online; good - love online; very easy to access and complete; ok; online took some getting used to but was good - liked email reminders; easy; Awesome! Love the new online system - it made preparing for camp so much easier and smoother; it went fairly well; great; Love it! Pretty easy to work with and make payments; online registration was great! New software/company used for registration was very thorough and I loved knowing how complete/incomplete each section was. Also appreciated not bringing forms to camp registration day!; very easy; smooth; easy; online registration was great! So, as you can see, it went over well.

Great value at the price compared to the other software on the market!
I don't have any negatives to report at this time. This service has worked well for us for the past two years. It has a lot of extra features from a health management side that we have not fully utilized, but could be very helpful for your camp.
PROSIt has also been great to be able to use this as a registration platform for other regional events, as campers already registered can basically sign up with a few clicks, and we already have all the other relevant information. Give it a try!
