Why parents switch
Sound familiar?
You're not the only one drowning in camp research. Here's how Happy Camper changes the game.
Before Happy Camper
Dozens of tabs, forgotten deadlines, and weekends lost to spreadsheets.
Hunt across disconnected camp and lesson sites
Re-enter medical and family details for every provider
Registration windows and waitlists slip by unseen
With Happy Camper
A single workspace that guides discovery, registration, and scheduling for the whole family.
Personalized search across camps, classes, clubs, and lessons
Master calendar prevents conflicts and keeps travel realistic
Deadline alerts, waitlist tracking, and shared updates for caregivers
Why it works
Happy Camper combines an unmatched activity dataset with automation that keeps every caregiver aligned.
Profiles saved once
Store camper info, forms, and preferences centrally so every signup takes minutes, not hours.
Alerts you can trust
Automated reminders cover registration windows, supply lists, balances, and schedule changes.
Everything in one place
The features that actually matter
We built Happy Camper for the way real families plan—juggling multiple kids, comparing options late at night, and coordinating with partners who need to stay in the loop.
All-in-one discovery
Search verified camps, classes, lessons, and clubs matched to each child's age, interests, and schedule.
Filter by budget, dates, location, and modality while saving favorites for instant comparisons.
Smart family calendar
Conflict prevention, drive-time awareness, and year-round visibility in a single master schedule.
Sync school calendars, share with caregivers, and keep pickups, drop-offs, and overlaps under control.
Email & paperwork capture
Forward provider emails or upload brochures, and Happy Camper extracts costs, deadlines, and forms automatically.
Important details live in action cards, complete with reminders and links back to the original message.
Season planning workspace
Plan budgets, to-dos, and prep lists, then collaborate with partners or pods from a shared dashboard.
Track payments, paperwork, and equipment in one view so nothing falls through the cracks mid-season.
AI planning assistant
Chat with an AI teammate that understands your family, saved camps, and budget to surface next-best moves.
Use prebuilt prompts or the Smart Query builder to request itineraries, fresh ideas, or schedule tweaks in natural language.
Guided season setup
Follow a launch checklist that unlocks automation the moment you add campers, calendars, and preferences.
Setup tasks highlight missing details and trigger reminders so forms, medical notes, and budgets are handled on time.
Caregiver collaboration
Invite co-parents, guardians, or pods with the right permissions for planning, approvals, and updates.
Role-based access keeps every helper aligned with shared calendars, status badges, and audit trails on invitations.
Shared planning
Share your plans with friends and neighbors so kids can attend camps together and families can coordinate schedules.
Invite other families to view your schedule, compare activities side-by-side, and find overlapping sessions that work for everyone.
Per-child shortlists
Build curated favorites for each kid with statuses that reflect who’s excited, registered, or still deciding.
Quick bookmark controls exist across search and recommendations so every session is tracked with the right child and notes.
Provider dossiers
Open deep profiles with staff ratios, policies, photo galleries, and contact details in one glance.
Live data pipelines keep camp overviews accurate and actionable, down to logistics, pricing, and who to call.
Logistics intelligence
Stay ahead of conflicts with guardrails that consider drive time, travel radius, and caregiver capacity.
Conflict detection, map-aware filters, and saved commute preferences surface the right sessions before you commit.
Fresh program data
Rely on continuously updated listings sourced from provider sites, emails, and Firecrawl-powered scrapes.
New sessions, pricing changes, and policy updates flow straight into your saved views so decisions stay up to date.
How it works
Three steps to a sane summer
No more late-night research marathons. Set up your family once, and let Happy Camper do the heavy lifting.
