Make a decision on the Disable Save For Later option. Checking this box will force parents to fill out the application in one sitting, stopping them from saving the application and coming back at a later date.

💡Tip: Many parents find the save for later feature helpful, especially if you have an app with lots of custom questions. As such, you may want to leave this box unchecked.

The first three text box options are where you can add welcome messages to your parents or note any needed information for application completion.

💡Tip: As with Login/Registration, you can choose how these messages appear (blue information, yellow advisory, or normal text)

Note: These boxes are not required.

Lead Source: Lead Source options are setup under Admin.

Choose from the Show Field and/or Is required options. This will not show to returning campers. You can uncheck 'Show field' to remove it from the application.

Gender: Campminder offers lots of flexibility and customization to Gender options within your system. Setup these options in Admin under Unified Person Record, and they will populate your options in the application.

If you run a single-gender camp (or choose to not collect gender) you can disable the question and default the selection to either binary gender option.

Note: Currently, male and female are the only gender options available on the camper application.
​

This is an example of what your Camper Application could look like if all Gender Settings options are in use:

Preferred Name and School: Select boxes to add or hide these options from your application. Allowing preferred name to be edited gives parents the opportunity to update their child's preferred name.

Gathering School data allows you to answer parent questions like "Do any other children from my child's school attend your camp?"

Note: you run a school and not a camp, you can deselect the "show" field for school, and it will not appear.

T-Shirt size: Ensure you remove the sizes you do NOT want to offer by unchecking any boxes.

Note: T-Shirt is a non-financial field, so you can't charge campers for shirts. Also, it's a seasonal field, so parents have to select a new t-shirt size each year.

Enable Social Security Number Field: We know this information should be stored with security in mind, and you'll need special permissions on your user group to access it.

Note: All System Administrators can see it by default.

Grade: Parents may find grades confusing when applying for summer camps in advance. The system calculates the child's grade based on their current school year.

💡Tip: For clarification, you can add a message about grades in one of the information boxes (Step one of Camper Information Setup.)

For Returning Campers, you can choose to disable grade for returning campers. If the camper already has a record in your Campminder system.

💡Tip: checking this box will prevent the parent from changing the grade currently on file (which auto-increments by 1 each year).

Social Media: if desired, you can collect social media account information to learn more about your campers.
