Replace $5,000 Setup Fees with a Modern $0 Off-Season Camp OS.
CampBrain is expensive, desktop-heavy, and requires weeks of seasonal staff training. CamperRoster is mobile-first, sets up in 3 minutes, and charges $0 in the winter.
Why Camps Are Moving Away from CampBrain
CampBrain's legacy desktop architecture creates unnecessary financial and operational barriers for summer camps.
$2,000–$5,000 Setup & Implementation Fees
CampBrain requires mandatory onboarding fees and extensive staff training contracts before you can accept your first camper registration.
Desktop-Heavy, Non-Mobile Interface
Built for desktop office computers in 2008. Seasonal college counselors find it difficult to navigate on smartphones during active camp sessions.
Year-Round Monthly Retainer Bills
Camps pay thousands in fixed software fees during the 8 off-season months when camper registrations are closed.
Volunteer References Scattered Everywhere
Pastoral and mentor reference details live in emails and notebooks instead of with each volunteer application.
