Spend the summer on ministry, not registration paperwork
Open registration, collect payments, and keep parents in the loop from one place, so your volunteers and leaders can pour into kids instead of chasing forms. We take a small fee on registrations that families can cover at checkout, so your ministry's out-of-pocket is about $0.
Simple enough for volunteers, with the records your leaders need.
You can pass the registration fee to families at checkout, so your program keeps its full payout and the fee feels free to you.
Why Church camps & ministries choose SummerBoss
- Families can cover the registration fee at checkout, so your ministry budget stays intact
- Volunteers get simple check-in, rosters, and medical info on any device
- Keep parents reassured with a daily feed, photos, and group messaging
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.
