What you'll learn:

🟢 Green — Child camper

🔵 Blue — Staff

🔴 Red — Parent (square shape) or Adult camper (flag shape)

🟡 Yellow — Donor

🟣 Purple — Contact, Guest, or User

For child and staff tiles, think of the columns left to right as a progression — from first interest all the way through to former.

Staff tiles follow the same left-to-right progression as camper tiles.

Parent tiles mirror child tiles exactly — they just add a P in front. Think of each one as "parent of a [status] camper."

💡 Tip: The position of a parent tile is always parallel to the camper tile. PE sits in the same column as EN. This makes it easy to scan a parent record and immediately know where their child stands.

Adult camper tiles are red like parent tiles but flag-shaped — a visual distinction that matters when someone is both a parent and an adult camper. In that case, you'll see the parent tile (square) with a flag hanging below it. Statuses match child camper tiles: LD, AP, EN, RE, FO, NY, X, WL, IN.

📋 Note: The line between DO and FO is yours to define. In your settings, you can customize how long someone stays "current" before flipping to former donor.

A person can have up to five tiles — and many will. A record you're looking at might show a blue HI tile (hired staff), a green FO tile (former camper), and a red PE tile (parent of an enrolled camper) all at once. That's one person who grew up at your camp, came back to work, and now sends their own kid.

Johnny was a former FO lifeguard at our camp for two seasons. He is a current parent of three enrolled campers, Christina, Joey, and Sasha. His wife, Sandra, was a former camper.

The tile you see on a record is based on a hierarchy — the most important current status wins the display spot. But every status that person carries is still active underneath.

📋 Note: This hierarchy matters most for campers. If a child is enrolled in one session and cancelled from another in the same season, their tile shows EN — because enrolled outranks cancelled. But they still carry both statuses in the system.

Piper is enrolled in a winter session and applied for a summer session. She shows an EN tile in her record, but she carries both EN and AP statuses. Run an enrolled report — she's in it. Run an applied report — she's in it too. Send a communication filtered by AP — her family gets it.

📋 Note: No duplicates. Campminder won't send the same person two emails or show them twice in a report just because they carry multiple statuses. Each person appears once, every time.

🎯 Try it now: Open three different records — a camper, a staff member, and a parent. Look at the tiles on each one. For any record with more than one tile, see if you can describe the full picture of that person's relationship with your camp. Come back when you've done it.

💡 Tip: When you're filtering for communications or reports, always think in terms of statuses — not tiles. The tile tells you the top status. The filter finds everyone who carries any of the statuses you select.
