What Camptivities does

Camptivities is a Los Angeles-based private SaaS company that provides automated scheduling software for summer camps. Founded in 2011 by Ryan Rosen (25 years of camp background) and Cameron Jones (software engineering), the company was created after the individuals who had previously performed scheduling at camps could no longer continue, exposing an unsolved operational problem. The flagship product, Camptivities, is a cloud-based scheduling platform built around a proprietary Auto Scheduler algorithm that generates conflict-free activity and staff schedules in under two minutes by accounting for frequency, staff availability, geographic zones, shared resources, and camper eligibility rules. The algorithm has been iteratively optimized from approximately 47 minutes in its first operational summer (2013) to roughly 14 seconds currently. Feature modules include Activities Management, Zones, Day & Week Schedules, Shared Locations, Frequency Lookback, Elective Scheduling, Staff Scheduling, and a Reporting suite with over 80 reports. The company also operates Whereabouts, a separate sub-brand launched in 2025 that provides real-time camper communication, attendance tracking, parent messaging, and photo sharing with facial recognition for day camps, afterschool programs, and overnight camps. Whereabouts integrates with Camptivities but can also be deployed independently.

The business operates on an annual subscription model with quote-based pricing scaled by number of activities, campers or groups, and weeks of operation. Three support tiers — Base, Gold, and Platinum — are offered alongside the Annual Scheduling Plan. Go-to-market is sales-led and event-driven: the company uses inside phone sales (877-724-0044), website lead capture forms, and participation in industry conferences such as the Tri-State Camp Conference. Target buyers are camp directors, program directors, and schedulers at day camps and overnight camps across North America. Industry affiliations include the American Camp Association (ACA) Business Affiliate program and the Ontario Camps Association (OCA) Preferred Vendor list, supporting credibility within the organized camp community.

Direct peers

• Sawyer: Sawyer is an activities marketplace and management platform used by camps and children's programs for booking, registration, and scheduling. It competes with Camptivities for the same camp and youth program operators and adds marketplace demand.
• CampBrain (Jonas Software): CampBrain, part of Jonas Software, provides registration, administration, and activity management software for camps. It targets the same camp-director buyer as Camptivities and includes scheduling as part of a broader management suite.
• CampMinder: CampMinder is a leading camp management platform for summer camps, bundling registration, billing, communication, and activity scheduling. It is the most directly comparable full-suite competitor to Camptivities' specialized scheduling focus.
• EZ-CAMP: EZ-CAMP offers camp management software covering registration, billing, and activity planning for summer camps. It is a long-standing direct peer in the camp-management vertical, serving organizations of similar size to Camptivities' customers.

Emerging players

• Regpack: Regpack provides registration and scheduling infrastructure for camps, afterschool, and youth programs. It competes at the registration/scheduling layer with Camptivities for similar customer segments, particularly smaller and mid-sized programs.
• Bounce: Bounce is a newer platform focused on childcare, afterschool, and camp management with parent-facing communication. It overlaps with Camptivities' Whereabouts product and increasingly with camp scheduling functionality.

Broad incumbents

• Procare Solutions: Procare Solutions is a large, established provider of childcare and early-education management software. While broader than Camptivities' camp focus, it competes for budget and IT attention from organizations running youth programs that include camp operations.
• ACTIVE Network (Camps): ACTIVE Network, owned by Global Payments, operates one of the largest camp and activity registration platforms in North America. It is a broader incumbent offering registration and management tools, with scheduling adjacent to its core product.
