Your families, not your clients.
Every family carries its children, who to call, and what they have booked. The list says families because that is what they are.
See what else it holds
Summer camps
It already calls them families.
Daybook knows the difference between a camp and a contractor. Tell it you run a camp and the whole app changes its words, its screens and what it asks you for — before you have set anything up.
The summer, five ways
Every way a camp looks at its own week.
-
The week
Every child, every day, and what you need to know.
-
The month
The shape of the summer at a glance.
-
The year
Next summer, while this one is still running.
-
The day sheet
The roster, on paper, for the person at the gate.
-
Contacts
Everyone at camp this week, and who to ring.
The same app. Your words.
This is not a heading swap on a brochure. These are the words on the buttons, the menus and the search box, on the day your account is made.

And the parts that make no sense for a camp are not hidden, they are switched off: quotes and estimating, material takeoffs and price books, subcontractors and field-level hazard assessments. Nobody on your staff ever has to walk past a screen that belongs to somebody else’s trade.
The summer is not the hard part.
You already know how to run a good week. What eats the evenings is the rest of it — the enquiry sitting in a personal inbox, the allergy written on a form nobody brought outside, the family who paid and the two who did not, the parent asking a question you answered last July. It is all the same summer. It should be in the same place.
The whole summer, in your pocket.
The same account on a phone: today’s week, how many places are taken each day, and who is at camp — for whoever is actually standing in the field.
On the phone
What running a summer looks like.
On top of everything Daybook does for every business — the full list is here — a camp gets its own.
Seasons, weeks and days
Build the summer once: weeks, closures, capacity. A family books whole weeks or single days, and the board shows you who is in on any given day.
Families, not customers
One family, their children, their contacts. Register once and come back next summer — the record is already there.
Allergies and medications on the child
Recorded where staff will actually see them: the week sheet, the group sheet and the day’s board, not buried in a profile.
Waivers signed before the first day
The family signs online. You can see who has and who has not, without chasing paper on the Monday morning.
Photographs, with consent that means something
Consent is asked for each child and checked on every photo. A child whose family said no is kept out of the album — and out of a group shot filed against a sibling.
Groups, sheets and the week board
Sort the week into groups, print the sheet, run the day. Move a child and the sheet, the board and the album all agree.
Every message in the booking
Email and texts land on the family’s record. The family portal is where they see what they booked, pay, and message you back.
Deposits, payments and the waiting list
Take a deposit at registration, invoice the balance, and let a cancellation pull the next family off the waiting list.
Children’s records, held properly.
A camp holds records about other people’s children, and that is not the same as holding a client list. Daybook treats it that way: the children’s-records module is not optional on a camp account, it is required.
- Records kept for as long as your province requires — the rule is built into the account, not left to you to remember
- Photo consent recorded per child, and checked at the moment a photo is shown
- Waivers and acknowledgements signed by the family, with a record of who signed what
- What each family can see is decided by the family, not by the album
And where it cannot be certain, it says so rather than tidying up. A family with three children on file and two places booked shows as the family until they tell you which two are coming — because putting a child on a sheet for a week nobody booked them for is not a small mistake, and neither is leaving one off.
The other side of it
What a family sees.
-
The family portal
Their own summer, without ringing you.
-
Announcements
One message to everyone in a week.
-
Registration
A form on your own site that makes a real booking.
Away from the desk
The same summer, in your hand.
Most of a camp day happens nowhere near a computer. The same account, the same words, on the phone in your pocket.
Your website, and what we won’t pretend about it.
Your account comes with a real website you edit inside the app, with a registration form that drops a live enquiry straight into Daybook. Eight industries also start from a template already written for their trade — camps are not one of the eight yet. You start from the same site every business gets and put it in your own words, and we would rather say so than let you find out.
- Edited in the app — photos and changes go live when you press Publish
- A registration form that mints a real enquiry
- Bring your own domain — we set it up with you
- The family portal your families log into
One price for the season.
Because that is how a camp earns. Every band is the whole product — unlimited staff, unlimited families, every feature. The bands are how many registrations you take; they are volume, never a shorter list of things you are allowed to do.
Bring your real summer. Watch it built.
Your own weeks, your own programmes and your own families beat any feature list. Start the trial and set the season up in it.
