UltraCamp

Ultracamp has a couple of must have features that we've been unable to find elsewhere. The flexibility of their registration system allows us to operate a camping program that is atypical of our field, but is still supported within the registration processes of Ultracamp. Secondly, Ultracamp has an exceptional set of accounting features, where cost codes, revenue tracking and the other types of financial requirements for a business are easily managed within the system. Beyond these mission critical systems, Ultracamp also provides a feature rich API integration, with allows us to expand beyond the boundaries of the user interface and to create tools specific to our business, but supported by the robust backend of Ultracamp's registration platform.

With the substantial flexibility within Ultracamp comes an administrative user interface that provides a lot of options. These options can feel overwhelming or hard to navigate for a new or unseasoned user. Therefore, the learning curve to become proficient in Ultracamp is steep. They balance this well however with a good online knowledge base and an exceptional support team.

We love the functionality and ease of use on the admin side, combined with the ease of use on the user/parent's end. Other programs we looked at seemed to lean toward one or the other, but not both. In addition to being affordable for the functions, our choice to use UltraCamp was also reinforced by their phenomenal customer service which has continued throughout our three years of use. The reporting features are good and give us what we need. Also, the fact that our donor management and registration system are integrated has been wonderful!

It took us a while to figure out custom reports, but that is one of the reasons we went with UltraCamp over other providers: others were even more extensive in setting up custom reports.

Although the customer service at UltraCamp is remarkable, that is about the only thing I could praise.

Its clunky user interface causes headaches! We've used this platform for 4+ years for camp registration. There are way too many options when creating sessions that it takes about a million steps. When creating sessions, one must create a session template, and before doing that, a session category. Not only that, but it's nearly impossible to understand the 'Editing Wizard' - it has the same problem - there are so many buttons, sections, and places to click in order to change the tiniest detail. There is no way to apply a bulk discount without altering the ones that have already been applied. They recently upgraded the interface of the main website to make it look modern, but the administration side of it is stuck in 1990. I suggest they seriously reconsider their approach to camp management if they want to remain in this business.
