CAMPWISE-Camp Management Software and Online Camp Registration

The CAMPWISE staff is really helpful and the support is amazing. They are quick and efficient in helping us solve problems (even the ones that we create ourselves!), and are very reliable. They stick with us until it is fixed and just the way we want it! And, unlike the system that we used to use, we never get stuck in someone’s voice mail for days on end waiting for a reply!

The CAMPWISE system is easy to use. We use a lot of seasonal staff who don't have strong computer backgrounds, and they are able to learn the entire registration process in just a few days. This is a big improvement over the system that we used before, which required our staff to manipulate a lot of pages and data. Our staff is much more accurate in their data entry now.

The availability of reports is great. We can easily get access to a wide range of information. Our old system required one of our staff to be an expert in ‘reverse algebra’; and was limited to getting reports in only one way. The CAMPWISE system allows us to sort information in multiple ways, and is easy to use.

I was up and running almost immediately after installing this program. The support is the best I have seen in 7 years of working with other camp software. Your staff is always pleasant and helpful. I have referred CAMPWISE to several other camp organizations.

We’ve been working with RecSoft ever since they began work on CAMPWISE. RecSoft understands the needs of the camp industry and they work hard to take customer suggestions and integrate them into the product. RecSoft has worked to develop a camp management product that meets our camp’s requirements. They have met and exceeded our expectations.

CAMPWISE was easy to learn and is great to use. The support that we receive is tremendous.

Liz Tully, Director, Camp Ketcha

CAMPWISE has proven to be a wonderful asset to our summer camping program. The software is user friendly and the technical support is outstanding. After using the software for three years, I continue to appreciate this product. Each time a new update is released I'm excited to see the enhancements and changes because they reflect the partnership CAMPWISE has with its users at listening and responding to suggestions to make their product even better.
Dean Williams, Director, Highland Retreat

We've been able to customize CAMPWISE to meet our particular needs. As a church camp, some of the ways we do business is totally different from how the private camps operate. CAMPWISE is not simply a cookie cutter product. We can get customized reports when we need them; reports that help us manage and make timely decisions.

We began to use CAMPWISE in the middle of our heavy pre-camp season and everything about it was totally new to me. The CAMPWISE personnel walked me through the training, and I was up to speed very quickly.

CAMPWISE has helped us make tremendous improvements in our registration processes and has really proven to be a great system for us.
Jessica Michel, Florida Conference UMC

CAMPWISE software has definitely made a great impact on our camp. Not only has the software program helped our camp registration run more efficiently, but it has also enabled us to give our campers better customer service. I can’t say enough about the fantastic customer support at RecSoft – they are truly dedicated to making their product the best there is!

We previously used one of the other, older camp software packages. CAMPWISE was a pleasant change. Now I’m able to move from screen to screen using my mouse and no longer do I need to rely on knowing all the commands. Also, the screen size is so much better. Before I had to look at a small screen while now the program fills my monitor making it far easier to read and use.

Even those in the office who don’t use the system regularly find the system simple to use. If I’m away from the office and one of the directors needs to look up information, they can do so easily.

The customer support staff has been great. If I have a problem, most of the time they can work it out while I’m on the phone. At RecSoft they put us, the customers, first.

The Auto Housing feature works well. I had no way to do anything comparably on the old system we had. I can also override and use the manual housing feature.

At the end of the day, bookkeeping is a snap. I can generate the end of day reports, and a deposit details sheet.

With CAMPWISE I can generate invoices with our logo and camp information. All I need is plain paper and the invoices are professionally generated. With our old system I had to load the printer with letterhead and carefully monitor the printing.

The sorting aspect of the system is also helpful to us. Our receptionist enters all inquiries into CAMPWISE as soon as they are received. If we need to go back and track an inquiry or find a specific contact, we can. We can do look-ups using several different variables including last name, first name, address, city, state or zip code. All of the information from the inquiry fields populates the campers’ information fields when they register. This helps eliminate duplicate data entry.

Kim Betts, Associate Director of Camp Administration, Camp Horizons

I feel like I am the only customer CAMPWISE has when I call.

James Himstedt, Director, Strong Rock Camp and Retreat

I can't say enough about all the CAMPWISE staff. What they said, they did. And most of the time they did more than they said. I really trust this product. The people are honest with us and won't tell us something unless they know it to be a fact. For us, and camps like us, that is very important.

The customer support people are good at teaching, very patient, and most important of all; they are respectful of our time. They accommodate our schedule, and don't force us to adjust to theirs.
