Our Story

A real, happy family moment — no poses, no perfection.

We started CampWhiz to make camp planning easier for everyone — especially the parents who’ve been piecing it together on their own for years.

Like so many families, we’ve done the annual juggle: tabs open, calendars colliding, deadlines missed, and spreadsheets that look like military ops. Whether it’s summer, winter, or just that random “school’s out” week — finding great camps shouldn’t feel like a full-time job.

For years, parents have had to wing it. No smart tools, no central place, no sanity.

So one late night (somewhere between a color-coded Google Sheet and cold coffee), we decided enough was enough.

We built CampWhiz — a simple, friendly platform that helps you find, compare, and plan camps in minutes — without the chaos.

And while today it’s all about making discovery and planning easier, our bigger dream is to go even further — to have smart AI helpers that can take care of the scheduling and coordination for you. Because parents deserve real time back, not just better tools.

Here’s to giving parents (and camps) the power tools they’ve always deserved — and a few extra hours back in the day.
