For camps
Make sure families can find you.
The way families discover camps has changed — they, and the AI tools they ask, look you up online long before they reach out. Publish your camp's news on CampBuzz and you get a credible, current, dated page you control: one that shows up when people search, that you can share anywhere, and that builds on itself every time you post. The more you publish, the more there is to find.
For vendors
How camps find you is changing.
Directors increasingly research vendors through industry publications and directories — and through AI tools that draw on them. CampBuzz gives your business a structured, findable profile, makes you eligible to be quoted as an expert in category coverage, and lets camps contact you directly through lead capture. Be findable where camps now look.
