● Now in beta Camp Operations Platform

Run your whole camp from one place.

The Orchard brings staff onboarding, training, scheduling, messaging, and safety into a single secure system — built for the way camps actually work, across every campus and every role.

Role-based by design — the system follows the role, not the person

What it does

Everything a camp juggles, in one connected portal

Each piece talks to the others, so staff information is entered once and flows where it needs to go.

📝

Staff onboarding

Magic-link login, clearance tracking, document upload, code-of-conduct and media-release signatures, and emergency contacts — guided step by step.

🎓

Guided training

Built-in counselor training modules with an AI trainer that adapts to each learner, plus role-specific tracks for kitchen, lifeguard, and grounds staff.

🛡️

Safety & safeguarding

Two-deep messaging rules, incident reporting with escalation paths, and a tamper-evident audit log — compliance built into the system, not left to paperwork.

📅

Scheduling & teams

Daily and weekly schedules, team rosters with photos, cohort assignments, and live staff-to-camper ratio checks while you build groups.

💬

Messaging

Role-aware staff messaging that automatically keeps the right supervisor in the loop for any communication involving minors.

🗺️

Maps & multi-campus

Interactive campus maps and a data model that handles multiple sites from day one, with directors scoped to their own campus.

Who it's for

Built for camps that care about people

Designed around inclusive programming — where campers of all abilities take part side by side — and flexible enough for the way your camp is organized.
