Parent Dashboard: Forms Tab Overview
Families can access your family and camper forms via the Forms tab of the Parent Dashboard.
Note: All of your active family/camper forms are always accessible via the Forms page of the dashboard. If you've configured any of your forms to display during the enrollment process, parents would also see those forms when enrolling a camper.
Forms Landing Page
On the Forms page, families are presented both your Family and Camper forms.
- Family/Camper forms landing page header text
This text can be edited via Admin > Campers > Parent Dashboard > "Main Family/Camper forms landing page header text" - Family forms

Forms Landing Page
On the Forms page, families are presented both your Family and Camper forms.
Family Forms
To complete a Family Form, families will click the form name from the Form tab landing page (as shown above).
Depending on the form type (web vs. printed), families will either be redirected to a digital form built into the parent dashboard, or be prompted to download and/or upload a file. To learn more about form types, please click here.
Camper Forms
Camper forms must be completed per camper, so the family must first select a camper to begin completing their forms.
Standard Forms
- The photo and name of the camper for which these forms are being completed.
- The custom Forms page header text your camp has created.
This text can be edited via Admin > Campers > Parent Dashboard > "Forms page header text" - Camper forms (displayed right beneath your custom header text)
- If you've created form categories, the category name appears as a header with the corresponding forms underneath. Forms that have not been categorized will be listed under "Other forms"
Completed forms are indicated by a green checkmark icon to the left of the form name, plus a "submitted" label beneath the form name. The form due date and date it was submitted will display on the far right.
To learn about additional forms pertaining to our add-on modules, please choose from the following links: Medical forms; Transportation forms; Authorized Pickup forms.
Form Review Status
If your camp is using the form review feature and showing form review statuses on the dashboard, all standard camper forms (not medical module forms) will display the form review status underneath the form name.
- The standard "Approved" value will display in green and "Denied" will display in red. Any additional custom review statuses your camp has created will display in grey.
- Any form that has not been reviewed will say "Not reviewed." Tip: If you're not going to review all of your camp's forms, create another custom review status like "No review needed" to indicate that to parents.
Submitting Forms
The process for completing a form varies, depending on whether it's a web form or a printed form.
Completing Web Forms
Web forms are presented directly within the Parent Dashboard. To complete the forms, parents need to enter their responses into the corresponding response field for each question and then click the Submit button at the bottom of the page.
To learn more about creating web forms, click here.
Uploading Printed Forms
To complete a printed form, parents need to:
- Download your blank form
- Upload the completed form
- Submit the form
If you've configured a printed form with no blank form, parents will only see an upload button here but not be offered anything to download.
If you've configured a printed form as 'download only', parents will only see a download button here but won't be asked to upload a file.

Parent Dashboard: Camper References page
When the camper reference feature is enabled, parents can submit references from the camper’s “Forms” page of the Parent Dashboard.
If the setting to collect references during enrollment is also enabled, parents can also input references via the Enrollment Form “Forms” step.
- If references are collected during enrollment and also required, parents cannot proceed past the Forms step of Enrollment without entering the minimum number of required references for their camper.
Reference inputs
Custom header text
At the top of the page, parents will see the custom text added to Admin > Campers > Reference form > Custom header text when parents enter references on Parent Dashboard.
References
- Parents are required to enter each reference’s first name, last name, and e-mail address.
- By default, only 1 reference input appears on the page, but parents can add more by clicking the “Add another reference”
- If references are required, the number of inputs that appear on the page by default = the number that the parent is required to submit.
- Parents can reopen the references page after they’ve already submitted it, but they cannot edit a reference that was already submitted. They can only add additional references (if fewer than 3 have been entered).
Automatic emails to references
- If “Send an e-mail to each reference once a parent submits their camper's references on the Parent Dashboard?” = Yes, the reference will receive the reference request email (to the e-mail address entered by the parent) as soon as the parent submits the references page.
The email message will contain the custom text from “Text of e-mail that reference receives”, and then include a link to the reference form to fill out.
Notes:
→ On both the “Forms” page and Enrollment Form “Forms” step, the link to inputting references appears in a separate container titled “References”
→ The form will show a green checkmark / “References submitted” after the parent has submitted the references page with all required references.
→ If 2 enrollment years are available, two References links will appear to parents, labeled with the corresponding year that they’re for.
