Family constraints
Child age eligibility belongs in the camp plan
Plan around child ages by keeping eligibility near camp choices and letting SummerCan filter discovered sessions for each family setup.
The problem
age rules vary by provider and are easy to miss when copied into a separate planning document. For parents comparing camps with different age ranges, 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 stores child ages in setup and carries eligibility into camp discovery and selection. 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.
