I think you'd get more sign-ups if you could allow people to create a calendar without registering and then say something like "register now to save this calendar". By that time, they're more invested in the product than someone who's just arrived at your site. I could be wrong but I think @patio11 uses this tactic for Appointment Reminder or BCC.

This is a GREAT idea. I&#x27;ve got 4 kids and we put them in all sorts of camps&#x2F;activities in the summer. Last summer they did tennis camp, surf camp, dance camp, baseball camp, art camp, and some others I can&#x27;t recall. So, this is <i>definitely</i> something I&#x27;d use.<p>Now, as for the implementation, here&#x27;s what frustrates me: <i>You don&#x27;t serve my city</i> (San Luis Obispo, CA). Furthermore, you don&#x27;t state anywhere on your home page &quot;Serving San Francisco &amp; Seattle. Put in your email and zip code and we&#x27;ll notify you when we have your town.&quot; You should REALLY do that.<p>For this issue, you should also take a &quot;backwards compatibility&quot; approach (as Chris Dixon put it [1]). Getting more camps in new cities is hard–I get it. But, just about every city in America has a parks and recreation department and most of them publish their summer activities in a PDF guide. So, you get an intern and have him&#x2F;her gather the URLs to every PDF available in California. Then Oregon. Then Washington and so on. I come to your site and put in my zip code–you say &quot;Hey, we don&#x27;t have anything in your city yet but here&#x27;s your local activity guide&quot; BAM ... backwards compatibility.<p>Marketplaces are hard. Keep up the good work.<p>[1] <a href="http://cdixon.org/2009/08/25/six-strategies-for-overcoming-chicken-and-egg-problems/" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;cdixon.org&#x2F;2009&#x2F;08&#x2F;25&#x2F;six-strategies-for-overcoming-c...</a>

My wife and I just sat down and planned our kids summer camps and would have greatly benefitted from this. For a marketing tip, I&#x27;d focus on the mommy blogs, since I&#x27;d guess they do 80-90% of the summer camp planning.

Finally, a startup that recognizes that people do get married and do have kids. I know, I know... seems totally nuts. But it happens to the best of us.<p>Now if you could just help me get them from point A to point B, that would be even better.

I respect your work, but I must say this: &quot;You are terrible.&quot;<p>Why you might ask? Well ask any kid who has been forced off to Bible Camp or some other humiliating childhood summer activity.<p>Keep up the great work!

I have three kids and my eldest is 9, I&#x27;ve been looking for something like this the last two summers.<p>I&#x27;ll check it out when I get home and come back and provide feedback.

Cool idea, even if the fundamental idea of packing your kids off to camp is a bit weird...

Can you put up a static demo? Or even just screenshots? I want to see what this is without actually registering, but every link that looks promising takes me to a contact page.

Awesome, love family oriented startups. Also check out activityhero.com. I used them last summer and they have more cities.

Would really appreciate a demo of how this works, especially without having to create an account just to find that out.
