Camp registration without chasing payments and paperwork
Give each session its own spots and price, collect payment and signed waivers when families register, and let the waitlist fill spots when someone cancels. Families sign up from any device without creating an account.
Registration season runs on email, checks, and clipboards
Sessions that overbook or sit empty
Spots go past capacity, and when a family cancels, nobody finds out in time to fill the spot.
Payments that trail registration
Kids land on the roster before the check clears, and you spend June following up.
Paperwork in five places
Waivers, emergency contacts, and medical forms arrive by email, on paper, and at drop-off on day one.
Counselor and volunteer gaps
Shifts get covered by group text, and you find the hole the morning of.
Focus on camp activities, not spreadsheets
Every session, payment, and form in one place
SignUpGenius lets camps run registration online. Families pick a session, pay, sign the waiver, and upload any forms in one step, without creating an account.
- Set capacity by session
Give each week or session its own spot limit and price. When it fills, families join the waitlist, and the next family on the list gets the spot automatically when someone cancels.
- Collect payment at registration
Families pay when they register by card, eCheck, Apple Pay, or Google Pay. Add discount codes for siblings or early registration. Withdrawals to your bank are free.
- Get waivers and forms in the same step
Add your waiver for families to sign digitally, with a timestamp on every signature. Ask for emergency contacts with custom questions, and let families upload medical forms. Export signed waivers as a PDF for your records.
- Fill counselor and volunteer shifts
Post staff and volunteer shifts on their own sign up. Confirmations and reminders go out by email and text, so people show up without you sending a group text.
Start collecting registrations, waivers, and payments in one afternoon.
Build the forms you need
Use a template, or start from scratch to create everything from volunteer sign up sheets, registration forms, and waivers. Attach payments to any anything you build to enable payments during the process.
Share one link
Send it via email, social, or post it to your website. QR codes can also be generated for physical media like flyers or banners.
Watch the roster fill up
See who registered, who paid, and who's on the waitlist as it happens. Confirmations and reminders go out on their own, and you can export everything when camp starts.

No. Families pay the full amount for the sessions they choose when they register. To spread out costs, set up each week as its own session so families can register and pay week by week. Discount codes work for sibling or early-registration pricing.
Yes. Families sign your waiver digitally as part of registration, and each signature is timestamped. Custom questions collect emergency contacts and other details, and a file upload field takes medical forms. You can export signed waivers as a PDF for your records or for the first day of camp.
Families who arrive after a session fills can join its waitlist. If a registered family cancels, the next family on the waitlist gets the spot automatically, so you don't have to track cancellations or contact families one at a time to fill openings.

No. SignUpGenius handles registration, payments, waivers, and staff scheduling. It doesn't do cabin assignments, health center records, or staff payroll. Day camps, VBS, and rec programs usually don't need those. Larger overnight camps that need them often use a dedicated camp management platform.
