What does a typical day at camp look like?

Days start with breakfast and a cabin catch-up, then two morning activity blocks. Afternoons are free-choice: swimming, arts, climbing. Each evening wraps up with a campfire or all-camp game before lights out.

Only pay for what you use

What’s included in Campfront’s per‑camper price?
Your per-camper price covers the full platform with no hidden fees. Registration, payments, forms, reporting, 50 GB of media storage with AI tagging, 2,000 SMS credits per month, and parent and staff portals are all included as standard.

There are three optional extras. Additional media storage is available if you need more than the included 50 GB. Facial recognition, with print-quality downloads, is an optional add-on priced per person who opts in (campers and staff). Many camps pass this cost on to families as part of their photo package, turning it into a revenue opportunity rather than an expense. Background checks, available in the US, are billed per check, plus any government fees.

Standard Stripe processing fees apply separately, as explained below.
How do Campfront’s pricing tiers work?
Pricing is based on an enrollment fee per camper, with the cost decreasing as your enrollment grows. Each tier applies only to the campers within that range, so your overall cost per camper goes down the more campers you enroll.
How does Stripe payment processing work with Campfront?
Payments run through Stripe Connect at their standard processing rates, and we don’t add anything on top. Families can pay by card, bank transfer (ACH), Apple Pay, or Google Pay, and you can also accept check, wire, or cash. You can absorb card and ACH fees, or pass them on to families as a convenience fee.
How does Campfront bill for SMS messages?
Your per-camper fee includes all email broadcasts and 2,000 SMS credits per calendar month. A text to a US or Canadian number uses 1 credit, and other countries use 2. Above that, credits are charged, and you see how many a text will use before you send.
How much does Campfront’s media library cost?

Every camp gets 50 GB of storage free, with media sharing and AI tagging included. If you need more, storage plans are billed annually:

  • 250 GB for $99
  • 500 GB for $199
  • 1 TB for $349
  • 2 TB for $599

Facial recognition with print-quality downloads is an optional per-person add-on, which you can estimate with the calculator above.

Why is facial recognition a paid add-on in Campfront?
Facial recognition and print-quality downloads add a cost for every person included. To keep per-camper fees low, we offer them as an optional add-on rather than building that cost into everyone’s price. You only pay if you use it.
How does facial recognition consent work?
Facial recognition is off by default. Each camp first decides whether to turn it on for families, staff, or both. From there it’s opt-in: families choose whether to enable it for their camper, and staff opt in for themselves. You only pay for the people who opt in.
Does Campfront offer multi‑camp pricing?
Yes. If you operate more than one camp, we calculate your pricing based on total enrollments across all of your camps combined, not each camp individually. This means you benefit from the higher volume tiers sooner. For example, three camps with 500 campers each would be priced as 1,500 total campers rather than three separate accounts of 500.

No contracts. Add only the extras you need, and your per‑camper rate falls as you grow.

Each rate applies only to the campers within that tier, not to every camper. Your average cost per camper falls as you grow.

From the team behind the Camp Leaders platform

For years, camps asked to use the platform we built for Camp Leaders. Campfront is the result: developed alongside camp professionals, and backed by 27 years of industry experience.

We’re just getting started

We ship updates weekly, not monthly. We talk to camp directors daily, listening to what’s working and what’s not.

Common questions

How much does Campfront cost?

Simple per-camper pricing that scales down as you grow, with no contracts or lock-in. View the full pricing breakdown.

Can we sell photos to families?

Yes. Facial recognition is $3 per person who opts in and includes print-quality downloads. If you would rather sell access to families than include it, you set the price and Campfront takes 10%. Plenty of camps cover the cost of the add-on this way.

How long does setup take?

Most camps are up and running in days, and we help migrate your data from your current system.

Can I import data from my current system?

Yes. Import your campers, staff, and historical records yourself from a CSV file, or our team can help you with the move.

Is there a mobile app?

Campfront works in any browser on any device, with a full experience on phones and tablets. Native iOS and Android apps are coming soon.

Why was Campfront built?

Camps kept asking to use the platform we built for Camp Leaders to run their own operations. We built Campfront for them, bringing 27 years of camp-industry experience to camp management.
