Give Your Campers The Best Camp Experience
In preparing camps for opening, one of their primary concerns is the health, safety, and welfare of their campers, customers, user community, and employees. This includes comprehensive camp maintenance to ensure that facilities, equipment, and outdoor areas are safe and ready for use. Camps are working diligently to provide the high level of support their customers expect.
From maintaining buildings, equipment, and acres of property packed with outdoor adventure activities and programs, there is a lot to maintain and keep track of to ensure the safety of campers and guests. Keeping things running smoothly, ensuring that areas and equipment are safe, having the ability to manage work orders, and ensuring that work orders are all being taken care of and responded to quickly, is extremely important. Having a system that is reliable, easy to use, and accessible from anywhere, and is reasonably priced is a must.
Mastering the Maintenance Challenge
Running a camp you face a lot of challenges every day in keeping up with everything that needs to be maintained or repaired throughout the campus. Managing everything through spreadsheets, note-taking on small bits of paper, writing on the palm of your hand or whatever is convenient to write the message on can cost you time, money, and safety issues. When you are managing so many buildings, equipment, and grounds, the risk of overlooking requests for repairs can prove detrimental to the camper experience. Using this disorganized means of managing the camp facility is inefficient and it is easy to forget things. So what is the best and most affordable way to manage all of these things? Computerized Maintenance Management System (CMMS) software. CMMS software provides a centralized system that is packed with very easy-to-use features that improve maintenance operations, increases productivity, and helps improve safety.

Safety and Compliance Regulations
Today, states vary significantly in their oversight of camp operations and require a system that is broadly applicable and easy to update. In many states, camps fall under the jurisdiction of the state health department, which has set up guidelines for camp operations with added processes and guidelines to lower the risk of COVID-19 exposure and spread. Preparing for these audits and inspections is easily performed through a CMMS.
With a CMMS camps can identify the procedures and processes that need to be done to meet compliance regulations, by setting up tasks within their CMMS software that must be followed. From identifying and scheduling workers, keeping historic repair information, to the tracking of preventative maintenance schedules, tasks, maintenance frequency, manuals, notes, instructions, tools/parts needed, and more. Tracking, documentation and reporting of safety specifications are all maintained into a centralized CMMS database, accessible from anywhere at any time.
