Getting Started with Camp Connect

Go to the parent signup page and follow these steps:

1. Enter your organization code in the field at the top. You'll see a green checkmark when it's recognized.
2. Fill in your name — first and last name as you'd like it to appear.
3. Enter your email address twice to confirm it. This will be your login email.
4. Add your phone number (optional but recommended).
5. Create a strong password — you'll see a strength meter to help you. Use a mix of letters, numbers, and symbols.
6. Check the box to accept the Terms of Service and Privacy Policy.
7. Click the "Create Account" button.

After creating your account, you'll see a confirmation screen. Here's what to do:

1. Check your email inbox for a message from Camp Connect.
2. Click the verification link in the email. This confirms your email address is real.
3. You'll be redirected back to Camp Connect to continue setting up your profile.

After verifying your email, you'll go through a quick 4-step onboarding wizard to complete your profile:

1. Upload a profile photo (optional) — this helps staff recognize you at camp.
2. Enter your address — street, city, state, and zip code.
3. About You — select your relationship to campers and indicate your Bell Society interest.
4. Getting Started — see a summary of what you can do next and click "Go to Dashboard."

Before you can enroll in camp, you need to add your child as a camper. You can do this two ways:

• Click "Add First Camper" on your dashboard
• Or go to Family → Add Camper

You'll fill out a multi-step form:

1. Basic Info — name, date of birth, gender, grade level, school type, and preferred name.
2. Photo — upload a photo of your camper (helps staff identify them at camp).
3. Medical — allergies, dietary restrictions, medical conditions, medications, and doctor/insurance info.
4. Emergency Contacts — add additional contacts who can be reached during camp.

Now it's time to enroll your camper! Go to the Camps page to see available sessions:

1. Browse available camps — you'll see each camp session with dates, location, and age ranges.
2. Click "Enroll Now" on the camp you want.
3. Select which camper to enroll (if you have more than one).
4. The system will check eligibility — making sure your camper meets the age and grade requirements for that session.

After selecting a camp, you'll need to complete the required enrollment forms. The number of forms varies by camp.

1. Work through each form — you'll see a progress bar showing how many forms are complete.
2. Your progress is saved automatically — you can come back later and pick up where you left off.
3. Once all forms are done, click "Submit Enrollment".
