CampReady vs Sawyer
Built for real camps, not just enrichment programs.
Sawyer is a great tool for small enrichment programs and after-school activities. But if you're running a full camp — with staff, health records, incident reporting, and overnight operations — you need CampReady.

The bottom line
Sawyer is easy to use and works well for small programs. But it was never designed for the operational complexity of a full camp. If you need health records, staff management, incident reporting, and emergency tools, CampReady is purpose-built for exactly that — at a flat $185/month.
