What you'll learn:
Control how sessions display and set selection rules
Configure billing, deposit, and payment options
Set up Terms & Conditions and activate confirmation emails
Session Selection
This is where you control how sessions appear to families and what rules govern the selection process. Your session setup in Season Settings determines what's available β this section controls how it looks and behaves on the application.
Video Walkthrough
Navigate to CampInTouch > Forms > Camper Application Settings and scroll to Session Selection.
Add optional messages in Session Selection Page Header Message and Session Selector Message.
Enable Pricing Identifier if your pricing table uses an identifier and you want it on the session selector page.
Enable Capacity Legend to display "Wait List" next to sessions at or over capacity.
Check Exclude Waitlisted Sessions/Programs from Ledger/Financials on Application Update to hide waitlisted sessions when a parent returns to make additional selections.
Check Exclude Applied Sessions/Programs from Ledger/Financials on Application Update for the same behavior with applied sessions.
Enable Sessions Set to Hide/Show (Collapsed Mode) if you offer multiple session groups.
Enable Display Optional Session Information to show cost and deposit amounts on the session selector page.
Set Session Min/Max if your pricing model limits the number of sessions a family can select.
Check Allow Selected Sessions to Overlap only if you have a specific reason to allow concurrent session enrollment.

Check Do Not Require Session Additions to Continue to let families move past the session page without selecting a new session.

Video Walkthrough
Navigate to CampInTouch > Forms > Camper Application Settings and scroll to Billing Information.
π Note: The same options are available for the Adult/Family Application at CampInTouch > Forms > Adult/Family Application Settings.

If you collect a deposit, add an optional header message and select the accepted deposit payment methods.
π‘ Tip: The deposit amount is pulled from your pricing table in Financial Admin based on the sessions selected.
πNote: If no deposit or registration fee is required, the camper will still reach the appropriate status as usual. If the registration fee checkbox is enabled but no fee is configured, families can still complete registration without issue.
Configure Pay in Full β check Show Field to offer it as an option, or require it if needed. Select the accepted payment methods below.
Configure the Billing Preference Method Label to display payment method labels (check, credit card, eCheck) on the billing page.

Review Hide Ledger β hides individual line items and shows only the total amount due.
Review Disable Credit Card Entry β lets families select credit card without entering a number on the application.
Review Hide Due Now β hides the deposit amount from the billing page.
Check Reduce Deposit Amount by Household Credit Balance and/or Reduce Registration Fee by Household Credit Balance to apply existing credits automatically at enrollment.
π Note: Any credit line item tied to a person or family will be applied β whether the camper enrolls online, is manually enrolled, or is added through a batch session edit. If no deposit or registration fee is required, the camper will still reach the appropriate status as usual. If the registration fee checkbox is enabled but no fee is configured, families can still complete registration without issue.
