Check to "Enable Online Payments".

Example Notice:

Add an optional email header message. Examples:

Enter an optional message at the top of the page when parents log in to CampInTouch and go to the photos section.

Enrollment Mgmt., Camp Mgmt.: Choose which partitions should have access to photos. For example, if you only want parents of enrolled campers to view photos, just check "Camper Management."

Veteran, Hired Staff: You can also choose which staff members see photos. If you don’t want former staff (not currently hired) to have access, leave "Staff Veterans" unchecked.

My Photos options: Under CampInTouch > Setup > Photos (Manual Tagging), you can tag campers in photos so they automatically appear in that camper’s family photo viewer. When parents log in, they’ll see the tagged photos at the bottom of their screen, labeled with whatever name you assign to the section.

Set a username and password to share with individuals for anonymous login.
​

Select the checkboxes to allow anonymous access to photos, videos, and news items as desired.

​Note: emails, financial info, and other parts of CampInTouch will not be available, so there's no danger there.

Anyone with this username and password can log in through your CampInTouch site, just like a parent — so share it carefully.

In this section you have an opportunity to modify the labels used to identify the roles within your processes.

Select the tab (camper, Parent/Guest, etc.) and from the dropdown menu select the label you would prefer to describe the role as in your organization.

Example: This organization prefers to refer to their staff as "counselors," which they’ve selected from the dropdown list.
