If you are still pulling CampBrain reports by hand, then you know the pain of wasted hours, staff burnout, and missed opportunities with families who do not complete registration. We recently had a CampBrain integrations webinar where we showed camp leaders how to break free from having to manually transfer data by leveraging on the power of automation.
If you missed it, don’t worry. Here is a full recording below
When Spreadsheets Steal the Spotlight.
Camp directors take stock after every camp season. What worked? What didn’t? What has to change? A lot of times, the frustration of late-night report pulling and incomplete registrations fade away by spring. We like to call it “Campnesia“. A situation where camp admins forget the pain just in time to repeat it next camp season.
CampBrain is undoubtedly a powerful registration tool but your data gets trapped inside without suitable integrations. This would mean hours of clicking, copying and pasting in order to get needed insights. Worse still, missed opportunities to engage families with abandoned registrations.
The Solution: Automations That Work While You Rest.
During the webinar, Eric Wittenberg of The Camp Stack showed camp administrators in attendance how The Camp Stack solves the critical problem of getting data out of CampBrain systematically. He broke down the solution into 3 core functions.
Automated Reporting.
Instead of pulling data manually, The Camp Stack acts as a robot that automatically pulls your custom saved reports from CampBrain into Google Sheets, or other important tools like Mailchimp and HubSpot.
“Cart Abandonment” workflow for incomplete registrations.
According to Eric, incomplete registrations are a dumpster fire of time and money. Imagine being able to send automated reminders through email or text to families who started but did not complete their registration. The Camp Stack can run a daily workflow on a consistent schedule to identify such families so you can recover revenue and secure enrollments that would have been lost.
Integration Hub
You can think of The Camp Stack as Zapier for summer camps as it help connect CampBrain to tools you use for marketing, reporting & communication without needing an API from CampBrain
Why this matters to camp leaders
During the webinar Eric mentioned that great camp admins fight the tendency to forget the operational headaches that came with the summer by fixing what is broken while the pain is still fresh and pushed automations as the cure for most of the pains experienced by camp admins.
The fact that missing the opportunity to register a single family with 2 kids attending camp for a few weeks every year can represent a lifetime value of $12,000 lost should be enough reason for camp admins to take automations seriously.
Beyond the financial aspect, automation frees up your time. Camp admins can actually spend less time on the soul-sucking manual process of pulling reports and moving data. Time saved from “clickety clack work” as Eric describes it can be reinvested into nurturing staff, getting in front of families and doing more of the personal touch that defines the camp experience.
Next Steps: How to Get Started
The CampBrain integrations webinar on the 10th of September 2025 was packed with ideas on streamlining camp operations and if you missed the live session or just want a refresher, the recording is available above.
You can schedule a call with Eric Wittenberg to map out a custom automation plan suited to your camps specific workflow.
A Final Thought
Summer camps should deal with more humans and less data. Letting tech handle the repetitive, time consuming back-office tasks allows you be more efficient so you can focus on creating a life changing experience for campers.
