The Campanion mobile app brings you closer to your camper’s experience while at camp. Campanion assists with pre-camp preparations, digital communication, and shares updates and photos of your camper directly to your phone.
To get started, follow these simple steps:
- Download the Campanion App
- Use your CampInTouch Account email address and password to log in
- Complete forms online and upload completed paperwork directly in the app
- Upload a training photo of your child, to enable the app to send you photos of your camper over the summer
- Ensure you have push notifications enabled within your phone settings to receive important updates from camp
See below for more detailed information, about photos and scanned letters. We look forward to sharing the camp experience in a new, modern way this summer!
PHOTOS
By uploading a CURRENT training photo of your child, Campanion’s facial recognition technology automatically searches for your campers and tags them for you to view in the app. This saves you time sifting through hundreds of photos.
PLEASE UPLOAD A NEW AND CURRENT TRAINING PHOTO. This helps to ensure the app is searching for the most accurate images of your camper.
Photos are stored within albums. Parents can tap, swipe, and browse camp albums directly from their phone and CampinTouch account.
Sharing photos has never been easier. Parents can share and download favorite images directly from their mobile devices.
With Face Finder, tagged photos of your child are automatically organized into separate albums, making it easy to view the moments that matter most. Get the joy of finding new photos automatically tagged for you.
TEXT MESSAGING
Please opt in to text messaging to receive important updates regarding the camp program and operations. Texting will be used selectively and minimally (e.g., to let you know that buses have arrived, there is a power outage at camp, due dates on forms, etc.). Please note that this service is only available for domestic numbers, and that message and data rates may apply.
Step 1: Log in to Campanion or your CampInTouch account.
Step 2: Go to Forms and Documents. In Campanion, this is accessed via the three lines at the top left. In CampInTouch, it is in the menu on the account page.
Step 3: Scroll to the bottom of the list to see the forms and documents for your family. Each family can only use one Text Messages Opt-In Form.
Step 4: Click on the Text Messages Opt-In Form and complete it.

- Please remember that mail is not distributed on Shabbat.
- Campers are required to write home twice a week and can communicate from camp by writing traditional letters and postcards sent through the mail. This change in approach helps ensure reliable communication while preserving the pace and independence that are an important part of the overnight camp experience. We know that families look forward to hearing from their camper and we will work on our end to ensure that they are writing home at least twice a week. If you are not receiving mail from your camper, or have any concerns, please reach out to their yoetz/et. While you are excitedly waiting to receive a letter from your camper, a delayed response usually just means they’re busy having an amazing time at camp! Our camper care team will be in touch directly regarding anything that comes to our attention and requires your follow-up.
