Camp is almost here, and we are so excited about connecting you with your child’s experience using the Campanion App.

If you don’t have the app on your phone yet, follow these steps:

We’ll be sharing photos all summer long, and Campanion’s facial recognition technology automatically searches for campers and tags them for you to view in the app. This saves you time sifting through hundreds of photos.

Once you’ve logged in, you’ll see an option to upload a training photo of your child. This enables the technology to identify your campers and receive notifications whenever they appear in camp photos.

If you used Campanion last summer, you need to upload a new training photo to make sure the app is searching for the most accurate images of your camper.

While you’re in the app, complete any outstanding forms that you have left on your camper’s profile. Thank you in advance for your help!
