When you open Campminder, the homepage is your starting point!
Use the bulletin board to jot down notes, send messages, and share reminders with your team.
The handy "at-a-glance" widgets keep you updated on recent applicants, leads, medical logs, daily exceptions, birthdays, and more. Plus, navigational icons give you quick access to your account, the Help Center, helpful videos, and support tickets.
💡Tip: We recommend administrators use Google Chrome as a browser.
The Campminder Menu
The Sidebar Navigation Menu is your go-to list for all categories, subcategories, and menu items available in your Campminder system. It’s where you’ll find everything you need to manage your camp!
Bulletin Board
The bulletin board allows system users to post reminders about active tasks. Unlike a calendar tool, bulletins will remain on your board until you remove them. The bulleting board can also be used for inter-office communication, posting bulletins to all specific users.

Add a Post
To add a post for someone on the bulletin board, click the Add a Post link above the bulletins.
Select the appropriate radio button to send the note to yourself, to everyone, or just to a specific person or people.
Enter the note in the Message box.
To link a record to the note under "Regarding," you can optionally type the first three letters of the individual's name.
Check the eyeglasses box for a read confirmation and the checkmark box for a task completion confirmation.
Choose a priority level from the drop-down: Normal or High. High Priority messages appear in bold to stand out.
Add a post-date your post if you wish for it to appear on a day in the future.
Click the green Post button.

If you sent a bulletin and want to undo it, click the "Sent" link to the left of Add a Post.
Click the trash icon at the top right to clear out a bulletin and send it to Trash. If you need to un-trash it, click the Trash link next to Sent, and you can view trashed bulletins from there, and restore them as needed.
Note: Rescind/copy gives you a "do-over" if you want to change the bulletin. Rescind pulls it back completely.
You can also comment on bulletins or view the recipient list by clicking on the tiny little numbers at the bottom left of the bulletin
Click the X to the right of a comment to remove it. You can also directly reference another user in your comments by typing "@" directly before their username.
Widgets
On the right side of your home page are blocks of info we call "widgets." These are windows of various information. Many are at-a-glance information from reports.
Note: not all camps will have all widgets, and not all widgets display during all seasons. They move around based on what's most important at a certain time.

💡Tip: Expand or collapse widgets by clicking the arrow icon in the upper right corner of each widget. The one widget that is not collapsible is Current Tickets.
Reminders | The top section is reserved for seasonal advice provided by the Campminder staff. |
Pending Medications | Any medications marked as "pending" (not yet accepted) will be listed here. |
Current Tickets | This allows you to see what tickets are currently open for your camp. Announcements made by Campminder will appear here as well. You may create a ticket by clicking the green "New Ticket" button. This is the only non-collapsible widget. |
Camper Leads and Applicants | This widget (only available to users with "Camper Management Permissions") shows recent camper inquiries and applications (last 14 days). It displays their name, age, gender, grade, hometown, and applied session. |
Daily Exceptions | For day camps, this widget shows the current day’s list of campers expected to leave early, or those who are taking an alternate route home. This widget will only be available to those users with permission to access the Travel system. |
Daily Logs and Treatments | This widget provides a snapshot of each day’s Health Center activity. It shows a list of campers and staff, in chronological order, that had a medical log or treatment entered. If any of the listed individuals have visited the Health Center three or more times within the previous 72 hours, you will see an alert icon next to their name. Clicking on a person’s name will take you to the Log & Treatment tab within the Medical section of that person’s record. This widget operation is only available to users with permission to access the Medical system. |
Photo and Email Stats | Camps using the integrated CampInTouch photo and email system can see stats showing the number of poster, purchased, and/or downloaded photos. An added indicator reflects how many outstanding parent emails are yet to be printed. Clicking this number will take you to the email printer. |
