How Do I Create a Camp Enrollment in the Mobile/Branded App?

IN BRIEF:
The Mobile/Branded App allows families to create new camp enrollments, complete checkout, and modify eligible camp schedules directly from their device. This article walks through creating a camp enrollment, checking out, and modifying an existing enrollment when portal settings allow. 

Overview

Camp enrollment through the Mobile/Branded App provides a self-service option for families to register students for camps, select eligible dates (when enabled), and submit payment. Availability and options shown in the app depend on Customer Portal and camp-level settings configured by the organization.

Important visibility and modification options are controlled in SETTINGS>CUSTOMER PORTAL>OTHER SETTINGS>CAMP REGISTRATION and on the camp’s CUSTOMER PORTAL tab.

Accessing the Feature

Before camps can be created or viewed in the Mobile/Branded App, “Show Camps and Allow Visitors to Register for Them” must be enabled under SETTINGS>CUSTOMER PORTAL>OTHER SETTINGS>GENERAL SETTINGS.

Once enabled, camps are accessible from the app dashboard and booking areas.

Step-by-Step Instructions

Creating a Camp Enrollment

To create a new camp enrollment:

  1. From the Dashboard screen, do one of the following:
    • Select the Camp Type icon directly, or
    • Select BOOKINGS from the bottom navigation bar, then choose a Camp Type.
  2. Select the student(s) you want to enroll, then select See Camps.
    • If the student is not listed, select Add New Student to create a new student profile.
  3. Review the available camps displayed in tabs.
    • Camps are filtered automatically based on student eligibility.
  4. Select the camp name to open the Camp Details screen.
  5. Select Enroll Now to request an ACTIVE-type enrollment.
    • If the camp is full and “Allow Visitors to Request Camps That Are Full” is enabled under SETTINGS>CUSTOMER PORTAL>OTHER SETTINGS>CAMP REGISTRATION, a Contact Us button appears instead.
      • Selecting Contact Us opens the device’s email client. The device must be configured to send and receive email.
  6. Confirm the student(s) being enrolled.
    • If parents are allowed to select days:
      • Available camp blocks are displayed.
      • Select the applicable dates.
      • Canceled camp blocks do not appear and cannot be selected.
    • If parents are not allowed to select days:
      • The student is automatically enrolled for all available camp blocks.
  7. Select Add to Cart to place the enrollment in the shopping cart.
  8. The System validates the enrollment.
    1. If a conflict exists (for example, duplicate enrollment or no available space), an error message is displayed.
  9. After the enrollment is added to the cart, you may:
    • Select BOOKING to create another enrollment.
    • Select POINT OF SALE to add a product, if available.
  10. Select PAY NOW to complete the enrollment process.

Note: If a conflicting enrollment is detected, the student is already enrolled in the camp. The enrollment must be modified instead. See Modifying an Existing Enrollment below.

Viewing Camp Occupancy

If "Allow Parents to Choose Camp Blocks" is enabled for the camp

The full camp results screen will only reflect “FULL/OPEN” for each camp, since the occupancy could differ for each individual camp block. When the parent proceeds to the block-selection step, then the system will display the actual occupancy count for each individual block.

If "Allow Parents to Choose Camp Blocks" is NOT enabled for the camp

The full camp results screen will display the actual occupancy count for each individual block, since the occupancy should be the same for each camp block.

Checking Out

To complete checkout for a camp enrollment:

  3. Choose whether to apply available account credit, if available.
  4. Enter a Promo Code, if applicable.

    • To use a different method, deselect Use Payment on File and enter new payment details.
  6. Select PAY NOW.
  7. If payment is required:
    • The System processes the payment.
    • On success, the enrollment is confirmed.
    • If payment fails, an error message prompts the user to retry or update payment details.

Troubleshooting & FAQs

  • Why can families not modify a camp enrollment?
    • Confirm that the camp's Allow Parents to Choose Blocks and Customer Portal setting to Allow Visitors to Modify Camp Schedule are enabled, and that registration dates are still valid.
  • Why are some blocks unavailable when modifying an enrollment?
    • Availability may be influenced by Restrict enrollment start date based on camp start time under SETTINGS>CUSTOMER PORTAL>OTHER SETTINGS>CAMP REGISTRATION.
  • Why is a family charged more or less than expected when modifying an enrollment?
    • The System recalculates charges based on total enrolled blocks and applies the difference after subtracting previously paid amounts.
  • Why does removing blocks not issue a refund automatically?
    • The System never automatically reduces or refunds original camp charges. Staff must process adjustments manually.
