Bloomily vs. CampDoc

CampDoc in its own words

CampDoc describes itself as "Camp and Youth Program Software Built for Registration, Health Management, and Day-to-Day Operations" (CampDoc). It says it "supports day camps, overnight programs, and the operators who run both" (CampDoc for day and overnight camps). Health management is one of the three jobs it names.

On its camps page, staff track scheduled doses, as-needed (PRN) medications and allergy flags across sessions and rotating staff. They document incidents, accidents and behavioral health concerns. Families sign up online with deposits, payment plans, discounts and session add-ons. Staff email or text filtered groups of families (CampDoc for day and overnight camps). Its registration page lists session capacities, waitlists and early access, card and ACH payments and refunds, and balance reminders (CampDoc registration). Its management page lists electronic check-ins, trusted contact uploads and tags for grouping campers by cabin, bunk, activity or transportation (CampDoc management). Its pricing page states "HIPAA and FERPA Compliant" (CampDoc pricing).

Where Bloomily fits a day camp better

Bloomily's camp pages describe the day-camp week: the weeks families pick, the groups campers sit in, and check-in at the door.

Weeks with their own places. Families register from your camp's own page and pay a deposit. Each week has its own capacity, and a full week keeps a waiting list. The next family gets any place that opens (Bloomily for camps). A family picks exactly the weeks it wants, and each week keeps its own price (Bloomily camp registration).

A balance bill made for you. In Bloomily, deposits come in at registration. The balance bill is made for you, due the Friday before the week (Bloomily features). Camp weeks and add-ons land on one family balance with one autopay (Bloomily camps and programs). If a payment fails, the family gets a prompt to update their card, and it retries on its own (Bloomily billing).

Check-in on iPhone or at the door. Counselors check campers in and out from the staff app on iPhone (Bloomily camp registration). Families check in and out at the kiosk with a PIN, or on their own phone (Bloomily for camps). The staff app can scan a parent's QR code, with a digital signature at check-in and check-out (Bloomily staff app).

Groups that families can see. Campers sit in groups, and counselors share a photo album with each group (Bloomily camp registration). Families see the album in the parent app on iPhone or Android (Bloomily for parents). A parent sets their language once, and your messages arrive translated (Bloomily family communication).

What to check if you rely on CampDoc's health records

CampDoc's pages describe health management in detail: medication tracking, allergy flags, incident notes and behavioral health documentation. If a nurse gives medications at your camp every day, that may decide your choice. Its management page also tags campers by cabin or bunk.

Bloomily's camp forms collect health notes, emergency contacts, pickup people, shirt size and waivers (Bloomily camp registration). Families fill in and sign those forms from the family app (Bloomily features). Bloomily's camp pages describe health notes on forms, rather than a nurse's medication record.

So write down what your nurse records on a normal day. Ask CampDoc to show a dose given and an incident written up. Then ask Bloomily to show where a camper's health notes live and who on staff can see them.

Moving from CampDoc to Bloomily

Bring the list you keep today, as it is. AI help does the reading. That can be a spreadsheet, another system's export, a PDF or a photo of a paper list. Nothing saves until you approve it.

When you are ready, send each family one invite. Their child is already on their account. Keep your old system running beside Bloomily as long as you like (Switching to Bloomily).

Questions to ask in both demos

• Can counselors check campers in and out on an iPhone, and see health notes there?
• Is there a parent app, and can families see photos from their child's group?
• Do payment plans charge a saved card on set dates, or do families pay each one?
• What moves the price: campers, modules, sites or payment processing?
• Can families register for single weeks, each with its own capacity and price?
• Can staff and parents message each other both ways?
• Where does a nurse record a dose, and who can see that record?

Which one fits your camp

Choose Bloomily when your day camp wants weekly registration, deposits, the morning check-in and group photos in one system. If your nurse's medication and incident records are the heart of the job, CampDoc's pages speak to that. See Bloomily for camps and Bloomily's camp pricing.
