Creating a Welcome Email

We understand the importance of personalizing the camp experience for each camper, which is why we’ve created a platform that allows for bulk & personalized summer camp welcome emails.

In our welcome email template, you’ll find important details such as your camper’s name, assigned group, start date and time and more

Use Mailmerge to Customize Welcome Email

Use the mail merge feature in Activity Messenger to populate your emails and text messages with personalized information from your registration forms.

This customized approach ensures that each family receives a message that is tailored to them, complete with their name and includes important details.

Send Camp Reminders by SMS or Email

It’s important to remember that parents may have different preferences when it comes to receiving updates – some may lean toward text messages, while others prefer emails.

Using a mix of both can greatly increase the likelihood that your updates will be seen and read.

Activity Messenger gives you the flexibility to send these important camp reminders via email, SMS, or a combination of both, ensuring that no important information is missed as camp season approaches.

Schedule Welcome Email Before Start of Camp

Set up the system to automatically send reminders 7-10 days before camp begins.

This ensures that each camper and their family receives the right details at the right time.

As a result, you’ll free up valuable time to focus on other important tasks and improve the overall camp preparation and experience.
