Comparison and selection
Compare camp session counts while choosing camps
Use session counts on grouped camp cards to understand how many dated options sit behind each camp title.
The problem
a repeated camp title can hide several dated sessions with different schedule implications. For parents who need to know whether a camp has one option or many, that means the hard part is not just finding camps; it is preserving the decisions that make the final family schedule trustworthy.
How SummerCan helps
SummerCan groups repeated titles while showing the number of discovered sessions under each camp. SummerCan is a planning tool: it helps organize discovery, comparison, review, and schedule output while leaving final provider confirmation with the family.
How it works
- Start with setup: children, date window, location/source choices, and unavailable blocks.
- Use discovery to open a chooser-ready set of camp groups and dated sessions.
- Choose and review camp interests before the schedule builder runs.
- Use the final schedule, share link, provider links, and calendar output as the handoff for real-world follow-through.

Is this a replacement for provider registration?
No. SummerCan helps with planning and schedule organization. The actual provider remains the source for enrollment, availability, pricing, and policy confirmation.
What about stale demo data?
The public app displays a frozen Summer 2026 catalog notice. Treat demo data as planning context and verify details before relying on them.
How private is a shared schedule?
Shared schedule links are bearer links. Send them only to people who should see the read-only schedule.
