Ever travel or need to work from home? Not a data-entry fan? Once you go web, you'll never go back.
“CampMinder puts all our information at my fingertips, anytime, anywhere,” says Scott Shaffer, Owner/Director of Shaffer’s High Sierra Camp in Sattley, CA. “I travel a lot during the off-season and, thanks to CampMinder, everyone in our organization can securely share our data from different locations. We even had our nurses up and running before they came to camp.”
When CampMinder pioneered the concept of fully web-based database management for camps, the idea of “office” changed. Shaffer says, “We no longer need a server and we don’t have to transport our database from our winter to summer offices. CampMinder just makes life easier.”
Focus on Running Camp
With CampMinder, Shaffer no longer has to deal with complex database management himself. “Before CampMinder, I had to split my time between being a camp director and a database administrator. Now, I can call CampMinder and they can see the same thing I do and resolve issues instantly on the phone. CampMinder allows me to focus on running camp, rather than be hassled with technology.”
According to Shaffer, “CampMinder is eliminating paper and data-entry since online forms feed directly into our database and parents can securely review and update their own information online. Each time a family requests information or a staff applicant applies online, CampMinder saves their information to our database. We spend our time better.”
