Understand Camp Sessions

Issue/Question


How are camp sessions used?

Resolution


A Camp Session specifies which days a camp is offered during the overall camp timeframe. Sessions enable you to offer multiple date options under a single camp, instead of creating separate camps.

Families enroll in a Camp Session, not the camp itself. The session determines attendance dates, while the camp provides the overall structure.

Sessions can be:

  • Single-day: A single day (like a school-out day)
    or
  • Multi-day: A short range of days (like a Monday–Friday week)

Each session can have its own name and description, making it easy to offer variations such as different themes.

Example

The Spring Break Camp runs from March 16 through March 27. During that time two multi-day sessions are available for students to enroll in:

  • Curious Creators: Monday March 16 - Friday March 20
  • Art in Bloom: Monday March 23 - Friday March 27

Sessions do not define daily schedules or pricing - those are handled by Time Periods.
