It's completely free.
Why Campella
I'm Crystal — a working mom of two. When my kids hit camp age, I learned just how hard and time-consuming it is to plan around school being out — teacher days, holiday weeks, spring break, and the whole summer — while keeping them busy, happy, and on budget. Wrangling camp schedules and comparing notes with friends over text turned into a full-blown group-chat nightmare.
So I built Campella. It's the easiest way to find camps near you for the days you actually need — but it's also where you can see what friends and families are booking, what they're loving, and even copy a schedule you like right into your own wherever it fits. Less texting. Every break, simply planned.
— Crystal, founder of Campella
How Campella works
Campella is curated by parents like you. The more we share, the better every break gets for everyone.
This site is curated by you, the parent — so help share what camps are out there. Just paste the camp's website when you Add a camp and our AI helper fills in the details for you — no typing required. An admin reviews it, and once approved it joins the directory and stays up to date going forward.
Some camps have claimed their own listing and keep the details current themselves. You'll see an Owner-managed badge on the camp's detail page so you know the info comes straight from the source.
For now, you'll click through to the camp's own registration page to book your spot. Once you're signed up, be sure to mark the camp as registered on Campella so friends get notified you're going! We're working hard to build connections into camp platforms so booking becomes seamless right here on Campella.
