Enrollment options are the main programs that you run at camp each summer and the first choice that a parent will make when enrolling their child. (e.g. 'Week 1', 'Week 2', 'Spring Break Camp', etc.)
When creating an enrollment option, you'll select from the various items that you created on the previous steps of the Setup Wizard (e.g. sessions from Step 2; payment schedules from Step 4; tuition plans from Step 5).
Access your enrollment options via Step 9 of the Camper Setup Wizard within the Campers Admin tab.
On Step 9, you may:
Create a New Enrollment Option
There are 2 steps to creating a new enrollment option:
- Add the option
- Create at least one "bundle" within the option
Add a New Enrollment Option
First, click the +Add enrollment option... link.
Next, you'll be asked to provide the following details:
- Provide a name for the new enrollment option
- Provide a description
- Select a payment schedule group
- This will allow campers to select one of the payment schedules within that group if they choose not to pay in full at the time of enrollment
- Choose whether to actively display the option on the enrollment form
The new enrollment option will appear at the bottom of the page, with the settings expanded.
Next, you must create at least one bundle within the enrollment option.
Add Bundles
An enrollment option will not appear on your enrollment form until you create at least (1) bundle within it.
When creating a bundle, you'll link certain sessions with a specific tuition plan and enrollment extras. You must create said sessions/tuition plans/enrollment extras on the previous steps of the Setup Wizard before creating the bundle.
If you haven't created these items already, go to Setup Wizard Steps 2, 5, and 6 and do that first.
To create a bundle, click +Add bundle...
- Enter the name for the bundle
- Select the number of sessions the camper will be enrolled in for this bundle
- Select the tuition plan price for the bundle
- Select which session choices the camper has for this bundle
- If the "number of sessions" is less than how many "session choices" you've selected, parents will need to select that "number of sessions" from the list of session choices.
- For example, if "number of sessions" = 1, and 2 "session choices" are checkmarked, parents must choose only 1 of those 2 sessions.
- Select whether this bundle should actively display on your enrollment form at this time. If no, admins can still enroll campers for the bundle on the backend.
- (Optional) Select to offer certain enrollment extras with this bundle
- Click Add bundle
Once an enrollment option has at least 1 active bundle, setup is complete. Optionally, you can create additional bundles if you offer different variations within this enrollment option. Note that parents can only choose one bundle per enrollment option.
Next, choose whether or not to set a deposit for this bundle.
Deposit
Configure the minimum amount of the camper's enrollment balance that must be paid at the time of enrollment.
When a bundle has a deposit, all campers who select this particular bundle must pay this amount (at minimum) at they time they're enrolled. Alternatively, you can configure a once-per-year deposit instead of per bundle, via your yearly deposit settings on Step 8.
Select "yes" to require a deposit for this specific bundle, and then provide the following information:
- Select a transaction category to assign every deposit payment towards
- Select whether to charge the deposit as a flat amount or percentage
- Indicate the amount for the deposit
- If you select percentage as the deposit "Type," choose whether the percentage should be calculated from the full amount (tuition plan AND enrollment extras) or just the tuition plan

Restrictions
Limit which campers can see this enrollment option (to prevent certain campers from registering for it).
Enrollment options can be restricted based on the camper's age or grade, gender, and/or a saved advanced report.
When restricting an enrollment option by a saved report, indicate whether the option should be restricted to the campers who appear on OR the campers who do not appear on the report. Right before the Enrollment Options page is loaded for a camper, CampSite will generate the report behind the scenes and only present the enrollment option to the camper if they appear or do not appear in report results (depending on which setting you choose).
First, select the checkbox on the left for the corresponding restriction, then provide the restriction details.
- Restrict the option to campers of a certain gender
- Restrict the option to campers of a certain grade or age range
- Select Grade or Age in the first dropdown menu, then specify the grade or age range on the right
- Restrict the enrollment option based on the campers who appear on a saved advanced report
- Select "appears on report" or "does not appear on report" and then select one of your saved reports.
- "Appears on report" = the enrollment option will only be available to campers who appear on the report
- "Does not appear on report" = the enrollment option will only be available to campers who do not appear on the report
- Click Save changes
Passcodes
By adding a passcode to an enrollment option, parents will not see the enrollment option until they enter the passcode first. This allows you to restrict enrollment to those you provide the passcode to.
Note: Passcodes must be created on Step 8 before they can be applied to an enrollment option on Step 9.
Apply a Passcode
To restrict enrollment for an option via passcode, click +Add passcode...
- Select one of the passcodes that was created on Step 8
- Click Add passcode to apply it to the enrollment option

Enrollment Option Tags
Allow parents to filter enrollment options based on the tag(s) associated with them.
First, create the tags you plan to use; then, assign them to the relevant enrollment options.
To create a tag, navigate to the Enrollment option tools section.
- Choose a tag category by clicking the respective tab
- Checkmark any/all tag(s) within that category that apply to this option
Once parents select a tag on the Enrollment Options page of the enrollment form, the page will refresh and only display the options with those tags.
If you apply multiple tags to an option, parents can filter for this option if they select any of the associated tags (i.e. they do not have to click ALL of the associated tags).
Payment Schedule Groups
Associate one of the payment schedule groups that were created in Step 4 to this particular enrollment option.
Parents who select this option and choose not to pay in full at the time of enrollment will then be asked to select one of the payment schedules within the associated group (for paying their remaining balance later).
A few notes:
- Each family can only be on (1) payment schedule per payment schedule group. If a camper is enrolling for multiple options that all have the same group of payment schedules associated to them, the family only choose 1 payment schedule (which would apply to all of those enrollment options).
- If the payment schedule group setting is set to "None", parents are not offered any payment schedules for this particular option.
- Make sure to also review your database financial settings to stipulate what happens when no payment schedules are offered or when they've expired (via Admin > Campers > Financial: Settings).

- See a pie graph of all requests (by status)
- Hover your mouse over the chart to see the percentage of requests for each status
- See a count of how many new, approved, waitlisted, rejected, and incomplete requests you have
An incomplete request indicates that the family started filling out your enrollment form (and selected this option) but didn't finish filling out the form and submitting the request. To delete an incomplete request, go to the Incomplete tab of the Enrollment Requests page.
