CampOrganizer vs Convoke

CampOrganizer combines camp registration, payments, staffing, day-to-day operations, family communication, learning, and reporting. The platform supports online registration, forms and waivers, schedules, teams, staff management, attendance, incident reports, galleries, analytics, and data exports. It is designed for summer and day camps, overnight and specialty camps, after-school programs, youth organizations, and university pre-college programs. Separate experiences serve operators, staff, families, and participants: Camp Hub and Session Console for operators, Counselor Mobile for staff, Family for parents and guardians, and Explorer for participants. Family, Counselor Mobile, and Explorer are available as mobile apps alongside web experiences. CampOrganizer describes role-based access, encryption, consent and data-rights workflows, and structured exports; it also says access to the most sensitive children’s data is controlled and logged. A new customer’s first session can be a trial for up to two weeks, at the All-Inclusive level for up to 100 active children, without payment details during setup or trial. Usage-Based costs €0.25, paid once, with listed rates of €0.25 per participant per event or €1.00 per participant per day.

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.
