CampRegister and eCamp Merge

Combined company to offer complete and innovative technology services to camps

SEATTLE, WA – March 20, 2006 – Camp technology leaders CampRegister and eCamp are now a single company providing the complete technology package to camps. Through this merger, the camp community now has a single partner for exciting and effective camp software along with the largest support team backing it up.

Both CampRegister and eCamp quickly became leaders in the camp technology industry. Seattle-based CampRegister offered powerful management software and online registration while Connecticut-based eCamp developed community-building services such as secure photo galleries for parents and one-way emails to camp. This merger, which took effect on March 6th, is a direct result of customers of each company constantly asking for services offered by the other company.

“It just makes sense for one company to provide all of these services,” says Matt Ehrlichman, co-founder of CampRegister. “The most significant advantage to working with one company is the availability of features not possible through working with multiple companies. Partnering with a single company with one support team is just easier. We listened to our clients’ suggestions which is why we brought these two companies together.”

Another reason CampRegister and eCamp joined forces is because the camp community is still being underserved when it comes to technology. Camps are either still using outdated database programs or their current technology partner does not provide the entire set of services. The goal of bringing CampRegister and eCamp together is to get people excited about the possibilities of camp technology again, deliver the full-range of features, and build the best solution possible. The response of this announcement in the camp community has been overwhelmingly positive.

Winshape Camp has been a customer of both CampRegister and eCamp since 2004. Director Chris Lewis is particularly excited about this news. “We began using both CampRegister and eCamp for our 2004 camping season. The response to both was excellent,” Chris explained. “We’re very excited that these two great companies are together. This will help make our camp parents’ experience, from registration to interaction through emails and photos, seamless, fun, and user-friendly.”

Employees of both CampRegister and eCamp will continue to work for the combined company. Personal relationships are a key value for both CampRegister and eCamp maintaining those relationships is a top priority. Offices will continue to operate on both the West and East Coasts to provide an even larger team dedicated to the success of customers.

CampRegister’s services include online registration, camp management software, communication tools, online credit card payments, online donations, staff applications, report building, website design, and more. eCamp’s services include secure photo galleries for parents, one-way emails to camp, fax-back emails for parents, voice blast messages, online videos, newsletters, and alumni features.
