A front-row seat to their camper’s day
The photo from this morning’s hike lands on a parent’s phone before pickup.
Parents aren’t anxious because they doubt you. They’re anxious because they can’t see. Give them a branded daily feed, real photos, and a clear line to your team, and the “any update?” emails quiet down on their own while families fall a little more in love with your camp.
Every alert reaches the right family, and only the right family.
What you get
A daily feed in your colors
Post the day’s moments to a feed that looks like your camp, not a generic app.
Photos parents actually want
Share the candid shots from today, and families see their camper smiling and exhale.
Message a cabin, a session, or one family
Reach exactly the right group without forwarding a thread five times.
The right alert to the right parent
Check-in, incident, and medication notifications go only to the families they concern.
Know it was actually seen
Read status tells you the message landed, so no more “I never got that.”
How it works
Post once, in the studio
Build the day’s update in Updates Studio (photos, shoutouts, tomorrow’s schedule), or let counselors post from the app they take attendance in.
Families follow along
Parents open the feed, see their camper’s day, and feel like they’re there.
Your inbox goes quiet
The questions you used to field one at a time are answered before they’re asked.
See it in action
This is the actual communications & engagement screen, running on real camp data.
Write it once in Updates Studio
Your team builds the day’s update from one screen: drop in photos, give a camper a shoutout, preview tomorrow, then schedule it or publish on the spot. One post reaches every parent who should see it.
- Photos, shoutouts, and schedules in one composer
- Schedule ahead or publish now
- Drafts your team can pass around before it goes out
Fewer interruptions, warmer parents
When families can watch the day unfold, your phone stops ringing with the same three questions. The energy you used to spend reassuring people goes back into running camp.
What changes for you
Built for registration-day rushes
A waiting room keeps the site from crashing, programs open in waves, and payments retry and recover, so the busiest morning of your year stays fast.
Switch on your schedule
Import rosters from any system and run the day (QR check-in at the gate included), then move registration over when you’re ready, even mid-summer.
We handle payments
Families pay by card, Apple Pay, or Google Pay at checkout. SummerBoss collects and pays you out on a regular schedule, with every order tied to each transfer. No Stripe account to set up on your end.
Your data, secured
Encrypted in transit and at rest, with role-based access and a full audit trail.
Pricing that feels free
You can pass the registration fee to families at checkout, so your program keeps its full payout and the fee feels free to you.
