The Problem

Running a Camp Is Hard Enough.
Your Technology Shouldn't Make It Harder.

No Time for Technology

Constant fires to put out, staff to hire, programs to run. Technology keeps falling to the bottom of the list — until something breaks.

Disconnected Software

Registration here, scheduling there, communication somewhere else. You're paying for 3–5 tools that barely talk to each other.

Cybersecurity Risks

Camper health records, staff data, donor info — one breach and the trust you've built for decades is gone. HIPAA and FERPA don't wait.

Data Loss Keeps You Up

Twenty years of photos, historical documents, personal information. If your backup plan is 'hope,' you're one crash from disaster.

You want to be out there doing what you love — working with your campers and staff and improving your community. That's exactly where we come in.

"What if other camps also just need a little help and support? What if they need a technology partner who understands the camping world?"

Our Story

A technology partner who actually understands the camping world.

I also love technology. Except for the first three years as a music teacher, I've spent my whole professional career helping organizations with it. Here's how a camp kid ended up here:

32 years ago

I went to camp for the first time — a weeklong residential camp. I never left. Camper, seasonal staffer, program director, lifeguard, kitchen worker, counselor, board member. The camp world became my world.

10 years ago

I took a role in technology and operations — implementing, integrating, and securing platforms for an organization with over 300 staff. I found I had a gift for making complex systems simple.

1 year ago

I quit my full-time job to help camps with technology. A few camps showed me they were hungry for more — they just lacked the bandwidth. With a little help, they took off. So I created Camp IT Pros.

Camp IT Pros is focused solely on helping camps find solutions that actually work for camps — not solutions sold by "experts" with no camp experience that don't quite fit.

Custom Camp Software

Software Built For Your Camp

Off-the-shelf gets you 80% there. Your team suffers the rest with spreadsheets and duct tape. We build the other 20% — and you own it forever.

  • 100% of your needs — zero feature bloat
  • Zero per-camper fees, ever
  • You own the software and your data outright
  • White-glove onboarding, migration & live training
The Custom Build

Stop renting software you'll never own.

Off-the-shelf platforms get you most of the way there. But that last 20% — the stuff unique to your camp — gets hacked together with spreadsheets and workarounds. We build the whole thing. And it's yours.

05

Ongoing Support
