Camp Demographics for 2007

The MCA is asking all camps this upcoming season to maintain a counting of all campers per session by both gender and age. If you do not already keep track of this data, the MCA will be distributing a Camper Demographics Chart next week that can be utilized and submitted to the MCA at the conclusion of the season.

With the age, gender and amount of campers registered for camp, we can collectively utilize this information to better understand our target market and user groupings, as well as report on the total number of children registered at Camp throughout Manitoba during the summer of 2007.

MCA Made for T.V.

This past week, the MCA was Live on Location at Mountain Equipment Co-op for the Breakfast Television program through CityTV to promote the upcoming camping season & the Sunshine Fund.

The MCA will be taping a segment that will also appear on Shaw Cable Televison with Joanne Kelly. This taping will be done on Tuesday, June 19 at Camp Assiniboia. The segment will air either the day after on Wednesday or Thursday.

Camp Database Registration Software

If any camps are utilizing a Database Software Program for your Camp Registrations, please share with us your thoughts as to what type of program you use, how effective & efficient the program is, and whether you would recommend the program for other camps that may be interested.
