ClassForKids review
A budget-friendly web platform for camp bookings, payments, attendance, and parent communication.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
ClassForKids is cloud-based booking and management software for children's activity providers, including holiday and summer camps. It supports online registration, flexible booking formats, payments, subscriptions, invoicing, attendance, waitlists, parent dashboards, and email and SMS communication. Camp operators can also store emergency contacts, medical details, and consent information while controlling staff access through permissions. It suits independent camps, growing providers, multi-site organizations, and franchise networks that want a central web system for family bookings and administration.
Pricing is particularly relevant for smaller seasonal operators. The Camps Only plan costs £120 per year and includes bookings, payments, waitlists, flexible camp-specific booking options, unlimited users, customizable staff permissions, and free onboarding. The Year-Round plan costs £34.99 per month and adds automated text and email booking confirmations, unlimited emails and attachments, free onboarding, and a Discovery Site listing. Enterprise and Franchise plans provide dedicated or tailored support, flexible pricing structures, and onboarding options, with custom pricing for franchises. A 7-day free trial is available, but there is no free plan.
The feature set focuses on the operational workflow around camp places and family communication. Full-week, individual-day, and half-day bookings can be offered alongside early drop-offs and late pickups, while capacity controls and waiting lists help manage demand. Attendance registers support offline access with automatic syncing. Payments can run through Stripe, Apple Pay, or Google Pay, with website booking pages and social media booking links supporting customer acquisition. ClassForKids is a strong fit for budget-conscious day and summer camps that prioritize registration and booking administration. Providers needing a broader operational platform or access beyond the web should consider alternatives.
