General Settings

  1. Navigate to CampInTouch > Camper Application Settings
    If you have more than one season open, select the year you are editing from the dropdown menu.

    The Application Settings will first tell you if your Application Icon currently appears on your parent's My Account page on CampInTouch. With this enabled, parents can log in to their existing account and submit an application.

    Note: If you do not have a direct link to your Camper Application on your camp website, this will be the only place that parents can access your application.

    Set the Application Icon: click 'Edit' on the first line under General Settings to open your Season Application Settings.

    πŸ’‘Tip: Be mindful of the Allow Registration boxes. Checking these boxes enables new camper registration. If you intend to restrict registration to returning campers only, keep these boxes unchecked until the general camp registration opens.
