What is Summer Camp Software?
Summer camp software is a specialized platform for managing seasonal camp programs. Unlike year-round childcare software, summer camp software is designed for session-based enrollment where families register for specific weeks rather than ongoing care.
Modern summer camp management software like Bloomily handles online registration, week-by-week scheduling, payment processing with deposits and payment plans, early-bird and sibling discounts, waitlist management, and parent communication — all the unique needs of summer programs.
