Campium vs CampOrganizer

Campium brings camp registration, billing, attendance and communication into one platform. It is intended for day camps, sleepaway camps, bungalow colonies, after-school programs and youth organizations. Registration supports custom forms, document uploads, e-signatures, waitlists and session or product capacity limits. Billing includes family balances, card and ACH payments, payment plans, autopay, discounts and financial aid. Staff can record attendance and check-ins or check-outs, while families manage approved pickup permissions. Bus tracking provides a live GPS map, rider status and estimated arrival times. Medication records include dose and staff attribution, overdue-dose flags and access restrictions for authorized staff. The platform also supports staff scheduling, reports, mass email and SMS, announcements, targeted sends and one-way family messages. Contacts can sync with Mailchimp and Constant Contact, and QuickBooks is listed for accounting. Campium offers responsive web access and iOS and Android apps for parents and staff. There is no free version; pricing is discussed with the company, which offers a no-cost demo and setup walkthrough.
