Run the parts of camp that happen after registration: cabins and groups, transportation, health information, staff hiring and camper spending accounts.

- **Cabins and groups:** Assign campers to cabins, bunks or groups with drag and drop, and honor bunkmate requests.
- **Transportation:** Build bus routes and stops, assign riders and take attendance on the bus.
- **Health information:** Collect health histories, medications and allergies at registration, and log health center visits and medications given.
- **Camp store accounts:** Families add spending money online. Staff charge purchases at the camp store and balances update right away.
- **Staff hiring:** Collect staff applications, references and documents, and move candidates from applied to hired.
- **Electives and activities:** Let campers choose electives and build daily activity schedules.
- **Photos for parents:** Share camp photos with families in a private gallery.
- **Day and overnight:** Works for day camps with drop-off and pickup, and for overnight camps with sessions and travel.

Also included:
- Session and week capacity
