Login Issues
When an email address is not recognized
Typically this is caused by a user trying to login with the wrong email address. If a user has a different email address on file with the camp, they will need to register again in the app using that email.

3. On the Sign In page, tap “Forgot Password?” (Link is under “Sign In” button about mid-way down the page.)
4. On the Forgot Password? page, enter your email on file with the camp then press “SEND”.
An email will then be sent to you with a link which will allow you to change your password.
Once the email is received, please follow the steps below:

Staff - App Login Errors
Before accessing the app, all new staff users must create an account (possibly enter a “registration code”) and set a password. If a user tries to "Sign In" without having created an account, the app will display an error message.
Within your admin portal, you can easily identify whether a user has successfully created an account; a phone icon will appear next to their name.
If a user has not yet created an account in the app. Please follow the steps below:
- Tap “Create an account”
- Enter the information and set your password
- Go to the Sign In screen
- Login with your email address and new Password
WiFi Issue
When a user attempts to log in to an app using a private network, they may encounter a connection error that displays one of the following messages:
| "An SSL error has occurred and a secure connection to the server cannot be made" |
or
| "The certificate for this server is invalid. You might be connecting to a server that is pretending to be "apiv2.my1218app.com" which could put your confidential information at risk." |
It’s possible that the WIFI a user is connected to is private and has a firewall. In this case, try to connect to a different WiFi or using cellular network to connect and login the app.
Login the Web Photo Viewer
To login the online Media Center a user must first create their account in the app
A user must first register their account on the Camp mobile app before they can login the web photo viewer by following these step by step instructions.
- Tap “Create an account”
- Enter the information and set your password

Facial Recognition
The app uses Microsoft technology for facial recognition. You can learn more about the Microsoft Azure Face API on their website.
The Microsoft Azure Face API is designed to work with human faces globally.
Accuracy will largely depend on the quality of the camper photos uploaded in the app by the parents.
If a parent receives a photo of another child, they can tap the tumbledown icon to remove the photo from their album.
How parents can activate facial recognition
Parents must set up Facial Recognition for their camper on their own. Admin cannot set up Facial Recognition for a camper.
Below are the steps to use the Facial Recognition feature in your myCAMPapp:
- Login to your myCAMPapp
- Go to the More tab
- Tap on “My Campers”
- Accept the T&C
- Take a few photos of your camper - make sure only 1 face shows up in the photo
Repeat steps for each camper.
Tips for this process:
- Make sure you have the latest version of the app installed.
- If the camera screen is black you need to go to the Settings app on your phone, find our app and edit the settings to allow camera access
- Zoom the camera to make your camper’s face the same size as the oval.
- Make sure there is nobody else in the camera frame
- Make sure there is enough light
- Take 2 or 3 photos to increase accuracy of the facial recognition technology
- Photos are automatically saved. You do not need to press the Save button.
The Facial Recognition software will then automatically scan all new photos added to the app for matches. Photos that match your campers will be saved on the Photos tab in a separate albums named for each of your campers.
When encountering camera issues:
The camera preview is black when trying to take photo of camper for facial recognition.
This means that the camera settings need to be changed to allow the app to access the phone camera.
Instructions to edit your camera settings:
For iPhone/iPad (iOS):
- Open the Settings app.
- Scroll down and tap Privacy & Security.
- Tap Camera.
- Find the app in the list and toggle the switch on (green) to allow camera access or off to deny it.
Alternatively, go to Settings > scroll to the app’s name > tap Camera and toggle the permission.
For Android:
- Open the Settings app.
- Tap Apps or Apps & notifications (may vary by device).
- Select the app you want to edit.
- Tap Permissions > Camera.
- Choose Allow (e.g., "Allow only while using the app") or Deny to adjust access.
Alternatively, go to Settings > Privacy > Permission manager > Camera, then select the app and adjust its permission.
Update app settings for permission
If a user is not getting push notifications:
Did the user accept to receive push notifications from the app?
To check if you have “allowed” push notifications from the app please follow the steps below:
In the mobile app:
- Tap “More” at the bottom right
- Tap on “Communication Settings"
- If the box next to Receive Push Notification is not check do this: Tap “Edit”, tap the box to add a checkmark, tap “Save”
On your phone “Settings”:
- Go to the Settings app on your device
- Tap on “Notifications"
- Scroll down until you find the XYZ app
- Tap on it to view and edit your permission
If the user did allow Notifications, please make sure they are opted-in to the categories for which they want the notifications; in the app go to “More” and then Settings. Here they will see all the categories and be able to opt-in or out.
This can only be done if you are a non-campsite client
Adding campers to parents manually on the admin Portal as a NON CampSite Client
This will not be available for campsite/mycampapp clients after the CampSite integration!
To add campers manually
You can create the new campers manually and assign them to existing app users (parents), or you can upload several at a time using the template CSV for User List Upload.
To create a new camper and assign them to parents that are already on your list of app users:
1- Go to Users > select Campers
2- Click on + Camper
3- Enter the information for the new camper and click + Parent to assign their parent from the existing user list. If the parent is not found, the parent must be created.
To create a new parent/app user and assign them to their camper:
1- Go To Users > select View/Manage
2- Click on + User
3- Enter the information and click SAVE before assigning the camper.
To upload a list
Import your User list from a comma-separated value (CSV) file using the myCAMPapp template. The CSV template is available for download on the Admin Portal: go to Users > Upload List. The CSV must contain the app user’s first name, last name, email, and User Type. Other information is optional. Please note, their email address is the unique identifier.
If you are a client of CampDoc, CampMinder, CampBrain, or Active Network, you can receive a report of this data that is unique to your database. To do so, you will just need to reach out to your support team to make sure that your account is set up and ready to take the correct spreadsheet format.
Admin Portal Mobile Access
The Admin Portal is only accessible online - there is no app for it. You can login to the online admin portal from your mobile web browser to access and create/edit news, events and notifications, and view/manage Users. All other functions must be accessed from a desktop browser.
You are able to give certain app users the ability to upload photos from their mobile device gallery directly to your app.
Upload photos from mobile to app
You can grant permission for certain staff app users to upload photos from their personal mobile device directly into your camp app’s photo albums.
Did you know? You can also limit their permission to upload photos only to a “photo triage” album that is not published in the app for parents.
The camp director or app admin can then review the photos and move them to a camp album once they are approved.
Below are the steps to assign/edit photo permissions for staff:
- Go to your online Admin Portal
- Go to Users on the left side menu bar
- Click on the “User Types” button located on the upper right of the dashboard
- Review your current settings: When “Can Upload Photos” is set to “true”, everyone with that User Type is able to upload photos from their phone to your app
To change the setting, click on the User Type you want to edit
- Check on/off the box for “Can upload photos”
- Select what Albums they can upload to (either ALL or choose one album)
- Click Save
Please note: App Users who are given permission to upload photos from their mobile device to an Album in your myCAMPappp, MUST select "Allow Access to All Photos" when prompted by iOS.
If they use an Android device, they should pick "Allow".
- A strong internet connection is required for the upload operation. If your Internet connection is not strong or reliable, you will experience issues while uploading photos from your device.
- It takes less than 1 minute to upload 50 photos with a good WiFi connection (upload speed at about 30 Mbps).
- Upload smaller batches if your connection is slower.
How to Photo Upload from the app
Below are the steps of uploading a photo:
1. From the Photos tab, select an album that you would like to upload a photo into.
2. From the Gallery, select Upload, located on the upper right corner of the display.
(If prompted make sure you “allow” the app to access your photos)
3. From there, a dialogue should display asking which source you would like to upload the photo from.
4. Pick a source and select an image.
5. Press Upload on the bottom of the screen to upload the image to the album.
6. A progress indicator will be displayed showing the status of your upload.
Once uploaded the image will be located on the bottom of the gallery. (The image will be repositioned to the top of the page if the you leave the album then go back into it.)
