The Challenge
The problem
Little Egypt runs a full summer of encampments — day camp, junior, jr. high, senior, and retreats — plus returning families who already know the rhythm. Spreadsheets and one-off forms could not keep fees, medical notes, cabin assignments, and staff permissions in sync across weeks.
Key issues
- • Multiple sessions per year with different ages, fees, and cabin rules
- • Parents re-entering the same kids every summer
- • Nurses and session directors needing different views of the same roster
- • PayPal links drifting out of date when fees changed
- • Marketing site and registration portal living on separate domains mid-season
What success looked like
- ✓ Parents register on a phone between errands
- ✓ Returning families claim kids and express-register open weeks
- ✓ Staff mark paid, check in, and see medical without fighting the UI
- ✓ Session fees auto-build PayPal.me links
- ✓ Audit trail for “who marked paid?”
The Solution
BraddCorp shipped a two-app system: a branded marketing site for schedule and story, and a dedicated registration portal with Clerk auth, Turso data, and dense staff tools — the pattern that became the Braddcorp reg playbook.
Shared season calendar
Marketing events calendar reads the same camp schedule package as registration — open/closed status updates live from the reg portal.
Registration portal
Session cards with ages, fees, and status — parent login and express register for returning families who already know the rhythm.
Multi-session catalog
Each encampment has its own slug, dates, ages, fee, cabin/payment toggles, and open window — shared from a single schedule source of truth.
Parent claim + express
Families sign in once, claim prior campers (with rate limits and admin unlock), and re-register open sessions in minutes.
Role-scoped staff
Admin, nurse, and session director roles in Clerk metadata — medical-only views, scoped weeks, Cards/Rows preferences.
Ops that match camp week
Paid / check-in, cabin assignment, medical flags, shirt counts, audit log, and fee → PayPal.me regeneration.
Mobile-ready registration
Parents finish registration between errands. Express registration and parent login sit up front on the portal home so returning families don’t dig.
- ✓ Phone-first session picker
- ✓ Clear open / closed status
- ✓ Same brand language as the marketing site
Express registration story
The marketing site explains claim + express so parents know what to expect before they hit the portal. Privacy details stay on /privacy — not buried in the pitch.

Why it matters
LECYC proved the multi-week camp shape: same stack as Rendezvous where it helps, different product surface where the summer calendar demands it. Lessons from both sites now live in the Braddcorp reg kit — including a live Camp Ruby showcase at regdemo.braddcorp.com.
