The Challenge

North Glenmore Park's summer camps were becoming increasingly popular, and the organization needed a way to reduce the administrative burden that was impeding their ability to expand the program. The registration process took over 30 hours to complete each cycle.

Relied on downloadable PDF forms that parents had to complete and send back manually
Manual payment processing on POS terminal followed by accounting software reconciliation
Had to manually email confirmations and receipts to every registrant
Tracked registrations and waitlists on printed lists or spreadsheets
No automated way to verify membership status before registration
Privacy concerns with parents emailing credit card information
Human error led to occasionally overselling camps

The Solution

Communal streamlined the administrative manual processes that were once trivial, allowing the North Glenmore team to focus on growth instead of paperwork.

Automated Data Capture

Instead of manually entering registration details, Communal automatically captures and associates parent and child information with the correct summer camp

"Communal solved all our problems. The amount of staff time saved was a huge win, but the amount of pressure it takes off the staff is also noteworthy. With our ever-growing demand for summer camp programs, we simply would not be able to handle registrations without Communal."
