Information flows from your website to your database. Achieve the coveted paperless office!
“We are quickly becoming a paperless office, thanks to CampMinder’s help,” says Mitch Reiter, Owner/Director of Camp Towanda in Honesdale, PA. CampMinder creates a secure link between the camp’s website and data management system. According to Reiter, “Each parent, staff member, and alum can log into their own secure account on our website to provide information that saves directly to their record in CampMinder. We spend far less time entering and reporting on data, which allows us to focus on other, more important tasks.”
In 2006, Camp Towanda offered a variety of online forms to families, including their parent inquiry form, camper and staff applications, optional activities, and medical forms. Reiter says, “We simply emailed our families their unique logins and passwords. Then they could update information themselves, rather than fill out paper forms from scratch. CampMinder streamlines the entire information collection and disbursement process, which saves us an incredible amount of time and effort.”
A Safe, Successful Summer
According to Reiter, “CampMinder has a real and first-hand understanding of the challenges we face as a camp. They appreciate that we are responsible for the well-being of every person at camp...CampMinder makes it easier to gather information and share it with the people directly responsible for ensuring the safety of each child. With CampMinder, it’s easier to make sure that each and every camper and staffer has a safe, successful summer.”
All-In-One
Says Reiter, “Our families log into their accounts daily throughout the summer to view photos and news and send email to their campers. Since they are already used to using their account, they are already comfortable applying and filling out forms through our website. It’s a win-win situation!”
