Improved communications with SMS for camps

Text messaging offers efficient communication for camps, ensuring that parents receive the right information at the right time.

Text messages are much more likely to be opened immediately. Email, on the other hand, is much less likely to be seen in parents’ cluttered inboxes.

This is not a big deal for less important communications, but for urgent outreach, the ability to text parents is critical. SMS can also play a increased role in your summer camp marketing strategy.

Here are a few ways your camp can use text messaging this summer:

  • Camp SMS Alerts for Parents and Campers
  • End of camp surveys
  • Important notifications
  • Camp start reminders
  • Collect important camp forms

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