The biggest update to enrollment since launch

We've made major improvements to how enrollment, payments, and pricing work in Campfront. You now have session-level control over how families register, with support for open and approval-required enrollment types, add-ons, automatic discounts, priority access codes, and a much more flexible payment system.

Here's what's new.

Session-level enrollment types

We've introduced session-level enrollment types, giving you control over how families register for each session.

Open enrollment

  • Families can browse available sessions and add-ons for their campers, then complete their enrollment there and then

  • Converted enrollments drop straight into the system as enrolled, ready for admins to review

  • You can choose whether families create their account after checkout, allowing them to begin completing any outstanding actions, or invite them into the system later once you've reviewed their profile

Approval-required enrollment

  • Follows a similar flow, but rather than completing checkout, campers are added to the system as a lead

  • From there, you can review their profile and invite them to enroll using default payment options or with custom payment terms

  • Camp admins can also preview the full enrollment journey (as well as the staff application) before going live, without having to leave season settings

Priority enrollment

  • Set an enrollment date ahead of your general opening, giving selected families early access through admin-created codes

  • Share codes with returning families, staff, or special groups so they can enroll before enrollment opens to everyone

Add-ons and automatic discounts

  • Add-on items like horse riding or tennis lessons can now be configured as part of the enrollment checkout, scoped to specific sessions and camper group eligibility, and set as optional or required

  • Automatic discounts including early bird, multi-session, and sibling discounts can be configured to apply at checkout

  • You have the flexibility to include or exclude individual add-ons from applicable discounts

More flexible payment management

  • Debit and credit cards are now managed separately for easier convenience fee control

  • Check by mail is now supported as a payment method

  • Per-camper billing can be toggled between automated collection and manual billing

  • Invoices and reminders can now be sent ahead of scheduled payment dates

Upcoming payments overview in Financials

  • The Financials tab now includes a dedicated Upcoming Payments view alongside Payment History, giving you a complete picture of all scheduled payments across your system

  • This includes installment plans and admin-created debits

  • From here you can take action individually or in bulk, including charging immediately, voiding payments, resending invoices, adjusting dates and amounts, and switching between automatic and manual billing
