See below for more detailed information, about photos and scanned letters. We look forward to sharing the camp experience in a new, modern way this summer!

PHOTOS

By uploading a CURRENT training photo of your child, Campanion’s facial recognition technology automatically searches for your campers and tags them for you to view in the app. This saves you time sifting through hundreds of photos.

PLEASE UPLOAD A NEW AND CURRENT TRAINING PHOTO. This helps to ensure the app is searching for the most accurate images of your camper.

Photos are stored within albums. Parents can tap, swipe, and browse camp albums directly from their phone and CampinTouch account.

Sharing photos has never been easier. Parents can share and download favorite images directly from their mobile devices. 

With Face Finder, tagged photos of your child are automatically organized into separate albums, making it easy to view the moments that matter most. Get the joy of finding new photos automatically tagged for you.

TEXT MESSAGING

Please opt in to text messaging to receive important updates regarding the camp program and operations. Texting will be used selectively and minimally (e.g., to let you know that buses have arrived, there is a power outage at camp, due dates on forms, etc.). Please note that this service is only available for domestic numbers, and that message and data rates may apply.

Step 1: Log in to Campanion or your CampInTouch account. 

Step 2: Go to Forms and Documents. In Campanion, this is accessed via the three lines at the top left. In CampInTouch, it is in the menu on the account page.

Step 3: Scroll to the bottom of the list to see the forms and documents for your family. Each family can only use one Text Messages Opt-In Form.

Step 4: Click on the Text Messages Opt-In Form and complete it.
