According to Jay Petkov, Owner/Director of Camp Saginaw in Oxford, PA, “CampMinder’s financial system gives us the flexibility to offer our families a variety of payment options while making the entire billing and collection process a much easier task. Our parents appreciate paying for camp in smaller, monthly installments and we have improved our cash flow, with a steady stream of revenue throughout the year.”
CampMinder’s financial system – designed specifically for the needs of camps in today’s digital world – has revolutionized the way parents pay for camp and camps manage financial data. Says Petkov, “Most everybody prefers to make electronic payments these days, and CampMinder clearly understands this truth. With a single click, credit card receipts for the month go directly into our bank account and are recorded in CampMinder. You can’t imagine how much time this saves us.”
An Integrated Solution
CampMinder integrates all camper/family and financial data and eliminates double entry and reduces chance of error. Says Petkov, “I can search for a family and see, in one place, all the relevant information – including their fees, outstanding balance, and their entire payment history going years back. All the information is in front of me and I feel more informed.”
“Now that our camper application is online with CampMinder, parents can simply login to their account, select a session, choose how they want to pay their deposit and a payment schedule, and complete their application in a matter of minutes. This eliminates many of the barriers to enrollment and our numbers reflect this as our 2007 September enrollment is 40% ahead of where it was this time two years ago.”
