Family constraints
Family blackout dates in the camp planner
Keep shared family blackout dates in setup so every child's camp schedule is built around the same unavailable windows.
The problem
copying the same blackout date under every child is repetitive and error-prone. For families with vacations or household-wide unavailable weeks, 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 lets setup include whole-family unavailable slots alongside child-specific constraints. 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.
