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.

PROS

We 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.

CONS

In 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.

Vendor Response

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

PROS

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

CONS

There 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.

PROS

I liked the ease of CampDocs. The team responsible for our account was always responsive and available to help us navigate the software.

CONS

CampDocs 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.

PROS

I 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.

CONS

It 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.

Vendor Response

Hi Monica. Thank you for taking the time to provide a review. Good to hear that CampDoc is working for parents. Our training team has also recently launched dozens of new training videos on a variety of topics including reporting. You may want to check them out at support.campdoc.com.

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.

PROS

I 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.

CONS

I 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.
