Everything Around Your Registration System
Christian camp website hosting, seasonal staff email, campus IT and year-round giving for Christian camps, conference centers and retreat ministries — hosted on servers we own in the United States.
Christian Camp Website: The Short Answer
Keep the camp registration software your staff already knows. What we host is everything around it: the Christian camp website families actually visit, staff and seasonal-staff email on your own domain from $1.95 per user a month, the campus network, and year-round donation and deposit processing. Registration platforms do one job well and leave the rest of your infrastructure to whoever is available in March. That is usually the gap we are called in to fill.
What a Christian camp website needs to do
A Christian camp website has one busy season and a long quiet one. In spring, parents arrive with questions about dates, costs, safety and staffing. In winter, the same site has to keep donors informed. A good Christian camp website answers those questions on the first screen and loads quickly on a phone at a church parking lot.
Keeping the Christian camp website reliable
- Hosting on servers in the United States that we own
- Backups taken before every site change
- Staff and seasonal-staff email on your own domain
- Free migration from your current provider
Accessibility matters too, since grandparents, parents and staff all use the same pages. The W3C’s introduction to web accessibility is a plain-language place to start when you review your Christian camp website. Our Website Builder starts at $10.99/mo, and camps run by churches and nonprofits receive a 15% discount.
A Christian camp website calendar
Camps do best when site work follows the camp year. Do the heavy edits in the off-season and only small updates in summer.
If you want a second set of eyes on your Christian camp website, send us a note. We will look at speed, mobile layout and email, and tell you what to fix first. Your registration system stays where it is.
A plain, honest Christian camp website beats a flashy one that breaks in June.
Families researching camps often look for the ACA accreditation standards, so a Christian camp website should make safety and staffing information easy to find. We build the Christian camp website around those questions and keep it on servers we own.
Website Starter Bundle
The site builder with hosting and SSL, one Hub for Teams mailbox on your own domain, and the domain itself free for the first year — in one annual plan instead of three separate decisions.
We Are Not Replacing Your Registration Platform
Your registration system stays exactly where it is
If you run CampBrain, CIRCUITREE, Regpacks or a system your denomination provides, keep it. Those platforms are good at registration and that is what they are for. We host and secure the website, the email, the network and the backups around them.
The registration flow embeds cleanly
Session dates, availability, forms and the registration link all live inside a site we build and maintain, so a family sees one camp website rather than being bounced between three vendors with three different logins.
One number when something breaks in June
When the office loses internet the morning of check-in, you should not be triaging whether it is the ISP, the switch, the registration vendor or the website. Camps run on a handful of weeks a year and nothing about that schedule is forgiving.
This is the first question every camp director asks, so it goes first.
- Mailboxes you add and remove by season Program directors, unit leaders and summer staff get real addresses on your domain for the season and come off the bill afterwards. Liberation Email starts at $1.95 per user a month, with Mail Pro at $7.95.
- Shared addresses the office actually needs registrar@, office@, health@, retreats@ and per-session addresses, routed so that a parent emailing about a medication form reaches the nurse rather than a general inbox that fills up in week two.
- A place to keep the paperwork straight Hub for Teams at $7.49 per user a month gives your year-round staff shared file space for health forms, background check records, program plans and vendor contracts — so they are not being emailed around as attachments.
Seasonal Staff Email Without Paying For Them In February
Camps have a staffing shape almost nobody else has: a small year-round team and a large summer one.
Giving, Deposits And The Rest Of The Year
Year-round donations and capital campaigns
Recurring giving, annual fund appeals, scholarship funds and capital campaigns for the new dining hall, processed through an account set up for a ministry rather than a generic retail profile. One-time and recurring are both supported.
Retreat and conference bookings outside camp season
Church retreats, men’s and women’s weekends, school groups and conference rentals are what keep the facility solvent September to May, and they are almost always the worst-served part of a camp website.
Parent and donor email that does not bill you for the list
Liberation Campaign charges for emails sent, not contacts stored. A camp with a 4,000-family list that mails once a month sends 4,000 emails.
Registration software collects camp fees. It rarely does anything useful about the other nine months.
- Wi-Fi that reaches past the office Dining hall, health center, program office and staff housing. Guest access separated from the network holding camper health records. This is the single most common thing we find wrong at a camp.
- Backups that have actually been restored CodeGuard encrypted off-site backups from $2.09 a month, and a restore we test rather than assume. Camps lose data to a failed hard drive far more often than to anything dramatic.
- Built to be handed over Camp staff turn over. We document the setup, keep accounts in the ministry’s name rather than a departing program director’s, and train whoever picks it up next.

Christian Camps & Retreat Centers FAQs
Do we have to leave our camp registration software?
No, and we would usually advise against it. Registration platforms are good at registration. We host and secure everything around them — website, email, network, backups — and make sure the pieces connect.
Can we add and remove summer staff mailboxes each season?
Yes. That is the normal pattern for camps and the billing follows it. You are not paying for forty mailboxes in February.
Can families pay deposits and donors give on the same site?
Yes. Camp deposits, retreat bookings, scholarship funds, recurring giving and capital campaign gifts can all run through the site, one-time or recurring.
What does the email list cost if we only mail a few times a year?
Very little, because Liberation Campaign is priced on emails sent rather than contacts stored. A camp with a large family list that mails monthly pays for those sends and nothing more.
When is the best time to move?
September to November, almost always. You have the staff attention and the season is over. A migration during spring registration is possible but we would rather not, and we will say so.
Can you help with the Wi-Fi and the network, not just the website?
Yes. Campus Wi-Fi coverage, guest network separation, the office network and tested backups are normal scope for us, remotely and on site where coverage allows.
What does a Christian camp website need?
A Christian camp website needs to work alongside your registration software, take deposits and donations year-round, and give seasonal staff email on your own domain from $1.95 per user a month.
Our camp is run by a church. Should the two sites be the same?
Usually not. A camp sells registrations to families who may never attend the church, and burying that behind a congregation’s homepage costs you bookings. Keep them as separate sites on the same account. If the church site needs work too, our church web hosting page covers giving, sermon archives, event calendars and the parts a volunteer has to be able to update without calling anyone.
