AnchorPoint vs Convoke

AnchorPoint is web-based camp management software for Christian camps, covering registration, payments, housing, staff training, and camp-store operations. Camper profiles hold medical information and activity tracking, while a parent portal provides real-time updates and communication with families. Camp teams can schedule activities with drag-and-drop tools and assign campers to cabins. Staff features track training progress and certifications. Financial functions include payment processing, store operations, and reporting. The maker also describes spiritual-development tracking, ministry partnerships, and church-registration flows. AnchorPoint supports summer camps and is built for organizations with about 50 to 2,000 campers per season. The maker says it migrates CampMinder or CampBrain exports, with most migrations moving from export file to working tenant in 2–4 weeks. Common church ChMS integrations are planned, with timing available on request. Pricing is billed per active camper per season and quoted after discussing camp size and needs. The maker says tenant data is isolated and camper and parent data is not sold or shared.

Convoke gives camps, retreats, and conferences tools to manage event websites, registration, payments, health information, check-in, and reporting. Organizers build front and event pages with drag-and-drop blocks, preview changes live, and add custom pages. Registration can collect attendee details, emergency contacts, medical history, digital waivers, and conditional questions. Payments run through Stripe and can be collected in full or through deposits and installments, with promo codes and sibling discounts. Its health center tracks allergies, conditions, medications, schedules, incidents, and notes. Tablet-friendly check-in includes attendee search, allergy flags, authorized-adult pickup, and arrival and departure history. Reports can be filtered, sorted, saved, and exported to CSV, including reports on custom questions. A single account can manage multiple organizations and overlapping events, each with distinct pages, staff, forms, and rosters. Parents need an account to manage registrations and balances, pay online, and register for later events without re-entering information. Full medical profiles are limited to nurses and admins, with access audit-logged; check-in staff see allergy flags only. The free plan covers up to 50 registered attendees. Paid plans cost $3 or $5 per registered attendee, plus Stripe processing fees.
