Birthday & Anniversary Campaigns Built for Summer Camps

{"faqs":[{"answer":"We segment by age group and tailor messaging — younger campers get parent-focused 'gift of camp' offers, teens get CIT or leadership track invites. Every script is approved by you before sending.","question":"How does birthday outreach work for camps with campers aged 5-16?"},{"answer":"Yes. We work from any CRM, spreadsheet, or registration export exactly as it is. No integration needed — just send the list and we handle segmentation and outreach.","question":"Can you pull camper data from our CampMinder or ACTIVE Network registration system?"},{"answer":"We honor opt-outs immediately, follow all TCPA and A2P 10DLC regulations, and collect explicit consent at booking. For camps, outreach operates under required privacy standards with minor data handled to clinical-grade protocols.","question":"What compliance considerations apply when contacting families of minors?"},{"answer":"Year-round. Birthday campaigns run continuously. Anniversary campaigns hit 11-12 months post-session — right when parents plan next summer. Most camps see replies within the first wave; win-back campaigns typically run 2-4 weeks end-to-end.","question":"When should we start birthday campaigns to impact next summer's enrollment?"},{"answer":"Email alone gets ignored. We add live calls and two-way texts from real people — plus every message is approved by you, replies book into your enrollment flow, and we handle follow-up. No platform to manage. No per-seat fees. Texts and emails included in the outreach minutes.","question":"How is this different from using Mailchimp or a camp CRM's built-in email tools?"}],"steps":[{"step":"1","title":"Free List Review — No Cost, No Commitment","gradient":"from-orange-500 to-red-500","description":"Send us your camper list (CRM export, spreadsheet, registration platform).
