Manage Online Waivers for Summer Camps

Setting up your camp’s digital liability waiver can be done in three simple steps:

  • Use a digital waiver platform (SmartWaiver, WaiverForever, Activity Messenger) to create an online waiver.
  • Determine the essential information campers must provide, such as name, address, age, and more, to ensure a safe camp experience.
  • Include your camp’s policies and guidelines, and include a space for a digital signature.

 

If you’re a summer camp looking to potentially switch your camp management solution, here is a list of the 5 best camp management softwares on the market.

Create an Online Liability Waiver for Camps

Integrate liability waivers with Camp Software

Activity Messenger integrates with Camp Management Platforms such as Jackrabbit, IClassPro and Uplifter, providing the flexibility to collect waivers separately from the registration workflow.

Integrate liability waivers with Camp Software

For example, when collecting waivers for camp events such as field trips, special events, and activities that require a unique waiver, parents don’t need to create an account. They can simply scan a QR code and sign waivers right from their smartphone.

Waiver management for Summer Camps

Activity Messenger simplifies waiver management for camps by providing instant updates on each camper’s waiver status. This feature is especially useful for paperwork management, where keeping track of completed waivers can be a challenge.

Replace SmartWaiver, WaiverForever and Docusign

Camps often need an online waiver tool to enhance their camp management software. While there are off-the-shelf tools available, they are not tailored to the unique needs of camps.

Activity Messenger fills this gap, eliminating the need for additional tools and streamlining the process.

Reminders to complete a waiver (SMS/Email)

Activity Messenger allows you to schedule email or text reminders to complete waivers. This means less last-minute scrambling to sign waivers just before camps or field trips.

How to ensure higher completion rates

With Activity Messenger, each waiver you create has its own unique link and QR code.

You can share these links on social media, post them on your website, or send them via email and text. This way, you can connect with your families and campers wherever they are, on whatever device they prefer, and make sure all waivers are signed and ready to go.

How to ensure higher completion rates

📌 Pro Tip: A strategy for camps to increase waiver completion rates is to set up a few scheduled text or email reminders for parents. These reminders specifically target those who haven’t yet completed their waiver and are not sent to anyone on the list who have filled it out already.
