After-School Programs' Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ):

 

How much does it cost to list my program at CampDepot.com?

You can list your after-school program with us (and create your own Web page) FREE!   Your program, when approved, will become searchable by thousands of parents and job seekers. You will have password access to your Web page -- and control over every item on the page -- 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Your page will present summary information about your program including: location, description, activities and specializations, program session information, a pictures and a logo, and a "hot link" to your own Web site and e-mail.   top

 

I already have a Web site for my program.  Why should I also list my program with CampDepot.com?

CampDepot.com help parents find your program. Think of a listing with CampDepot.com as complementary to your own Web site, NOT in competition with it. Currently, a nationwide advertising campaign is featuring CampDepot.com as the premier Web site for after-school program searching and job searching. When people visit our site, they search for programs (or program jobs) using our sophisticated search engine.   Once they specify their search criteria, a list of programs (or program jobs) that match the criteria is presented to them. The program/job seekers then select the programs they want to view. They see the summary data on your Web page at CampDepot.com. Then they may go directly to your Web site, or they e-mail you for additional information.   top

I just registered my program with CampDepot.com.  Then I searched your site for it, but I was unable to find it.  Did I do something wrong?

Once program information has been entered, it must be approved and then verified before it is made available for general search.  The approval process usually takes from one to three days.  Programs that do not meet minimal requirements will not be approved. If your program is not approved within three days, please contact us by e-mail at programSupport@campDepot.com or phone us at 516-622-2340.   top

 

How are the programs listed when a search results are returned?

The search results are classified into three groups and programs are listed alphabetically within each group. The first group to be listed are those programs that are registered on CampDepot.com WITH session information. The second group to be listed are those registered programs WITHOUT session information. The last group to be listed are those unregistered programs whose data were obtained from public sources.   top

 

I've just made changes to my program data, but when I searched your site for my program page, the old data was displayed. Did I do something wrong?

In order for the changes to take effect immediately, you must press the "Publish Web Page" button, at the after-school program summary page. Otherwise, your changes will take effect overnight automatically.   top

 

My organization holds programs in multiple locations.  How do I list them?

You can list as many program locations as you have.  Every location gets its own summary Web page (We provide an easy way for you to duplicate information for multiple locations.  Click here for how).   top

 

I have programs at multiple locations. Is there an easy way for me to create multiple pages to represent my programs?

CampDepot.com has a user-friendly feature to create multiple Web pages for multiple program locations.
  • Register one of your programs with us.  It will be used as a baseline/template to the rest of your programs.  Since as you "duplicate" your programs all the data from your first (template) program is being copied, it is very important that the data for that program is complete.
  • Pay special attention to the way you specify the locations of your programs: Location (the place where the program is physically located) and in-season administrative address.
  • Make sure that the page is complete with a picture and a logo, program description, and session data.
  • Once you have created your first (template) page, press the Create New program with Identical Information button on the After-School Program Summary page.
    The Duplicate Program Registration window will display.
  • Select a unique User Name for each program.  We recommend that you choose easy-to-use names such as myProgram-NJ, myProgram-NY, or myProgram-FL for multiple locations.
  • Press the Register! button.
    The program location form will display.  Don't get confused, the data on that page is identical to the "template" program.  In this form you will change the data to conform to the "new" program.
  • Change the program Name. If the name is the same, you may want to append the location to the name such as my_Program at NJ.
  • Change the program location information (the off-season administrative address is probably the same), the phone number and the program director's name.
  • Press the Save Changes button at the end of the page to update the data
    The After-School Program Summary page will display. If the name of the program on that page, is not the one that you've entered for the new program name, press the REFRESH or RELOAD button of your browser
  • If needed, update the session data, using a combination of the "Add New Session" button, or the New Copy/View/edit/delete links next to the session data at the After-School Program Summary page. Make sure to use the "Save Changes" button each time you update session data.   top
