CampMinder

What CampMinder does

CampMinder is a Boulder, Colorado-based software company that provides a cloud-based camp management platform for summer day camps and overnight camps across North America. Founded around 2003, the platform consolidates more than 20 camp-specific modules — including registration and forms, health management with electronic medication administration records (eMAR), transportation planning, email and SMS communications, staff applications and background checks, reporting, payments, and the Campanion parent-facing mobile app with facial recognition photo tagging (Face Finder) — into a single unified data architecture with a public API and Zapier integration. A separate Gazebo module extends the platform into year-round event and rental management for retreats, weddings, and outdoor education.

The company serves a spectrum of camp sizes, from small independent camps of fewer than 100 campers to enterprise operations exceeding 4,000 campers, with notable customers including Pierce Country Day Camp, Pali Adventures, Ridgecrest Summer Camps, YMCA Camp High Harbour, Camp Minikani, and Camp Walden. Across its customer base, CampMinder reports 2.7 million campers enrolled, 52 million photos uploaded, 701,000 staff hires processed, 75,000 camp sessions managed, and 43 million forms submitted. The business sells through a sales-led enterprise motion with "Schedule a Demo" as the primary call-to-action, custom pricing per enrolled camper, and a tiered subscription structure (Classic under 100 campers, Deluxe for growing camps, and Professional Suite for enterprise camps), billed annually.

CampMinder remains a privately held LLC with no disclosed external funding, operating from its Boulder headquarters with a full C-suite including CEO/Founder Dan Konigsberg, President Paul Berliner, CRO Danny Lorenzo, CTO Mary Moore-Simmons, CPO Scott Nusz, CFO Shauna Callahan, and Chief Client Experience Officer Laura Eppstein. The company has been recognized by Outside Magazine as one of the Best Places to Work for eight consecutive years through 2024, and continues to expand its product footprint through new modules such as the Unified Person Record and Applicant Tracking System.
