Great app
I love the app. Great tool for parents and teachers alike. Made it super easy to see what is happening that day or even that week.
Great experience!
This app was super helpful to stay up to date with summer camp activities. I especially enjoyed the photos posted by camp counselors.
First time user
Our first time using the app for camp and it worked great
Easy communication
Camp source made communication between all 3 parents effortlessly on our end.
So helpful!
Great tool to help parents remember what is coming up and items needed for particular trips and days!
Useful
Our camp only uses the photo gallery function but it’s nice to check in on your kids when they’re at sleep away camp.
Ease of use and very convenient!
I got this app for my daughter’s summer camp and it was so easy and convenient to check every night to see the schedule and plans for the next day and even to get notified by any changes in their plans instead of getting and going through emails. I loved it!
Great view of camp life
I sent my kiddo to sleep away camp for the first time. It was great to see pictures posted of camp life and the activities. Especially if kids don’t bring their own camera. The camp only used the photo gallery feature.
Helpful Resource/Tool
I found this app to be a helpful tool/resource for keeping up with my sons camp. In addition to emails. I would get from the camp. As a parent it was pretty easy to navigate.
Great app
It really is user friendly, it has all the information you would like to know of your children/s camp. Easy for the camp counselor to update us or let us know of any changes to the day. The gallery was something I absolutely loved! :) I really do hope it is utilized for camp next summer as well.
First time user
This was the first summer I’ve used this app so I don’t have a comparison from previous years. However, I loved being able to experience with our child the events of the week while they were happening rather than waiting until the end of camp for the recap. What a great asset! Thanks for continuing to find new ways to improve this tool.

Easy to use
This app is easy to use. I love being able to see what’s going on with my child while I’m not around. Love getting pictures
Great app
This app helped ease my mind when my children were on field trips. Very helpful!
Pictures
Loved seeing the pictures while my son was away at camp for the first time! Made me less nervous seeing his smile everyday
Great for communication
Kept me in the loop during my daughter’s weeks at camp.
Great Resource
My kids camp used this app for the first time this summer and we really liked it. It gave immediate notifications on my phone to changes or happenings. Normally we would have a printed calendar of events or would receive an email so I found this to be more effective and helpful. If a notification popped up from the app I knew it pertained to the kids and I would immediately know what was happening. Not all areas of the app will be for everyone but I found it more resourceful for direct communication. I highly recommend it to schools, camps and parents for seamless access and communication with their children and staff.

Great App for all info in one place
I loved how easy it was to use the app and be able to find all info in one place as well as be able to send quick messages to counselors. Having pics and videos on there was a great bonus.
Other platforms do it better
I’m going to preface this by saying that my kid’s camp only used the photo gallery feature of this app, so that’s what I’m reviewing.
1. Every time the camp director uploads photos a notification is created. Useful to see when there are new photos. However, you have to click each notification in order to clear them. Clunky and outdated.
2. The photos in the gallery are tiny and you can’t zoom in on the app. You must click to download each photo, then it opens in a browser (Amazon cloud storage) and then you can download that photo. There should be batch download or at least zoom capability to see if your kid is in the photo. Clunky and outdated.
3. The $3.99 price point only flies because parents will pay for the only way to see photos of their kids. It’s way too high for the value of what you get in the app. Taking advantage of customers.
4. The app had a bug halfway through my kid’s camp session. New photos didn’t show up, which is basically this app’s one job for our camp. They took over 24 hours to fix it and it still wasn’t fixed, you could only click on the most recent 21 photos. Camp is over and I am still getting emails that Camp Source is trying to fix these issues.
My review really does nothing for parents because we are stuck using this app. I hope that camp directors will see these reviews and decide to use something else. There are tons of better safe and private photo sharing apps—look at what preschools are using, etc. This isn’t it!
