Email Templates for Summer Camps

Professional emails that confirm registrations, prepare families for camp, share weekly updates, and drive early enrollment for next summer.

Summer camps fill their sessions through trust and excitement. Parents need to feel confident their child is in good hands, and kids need to feel like camp is the highlight of their summer. These templates handle the full camp communication cycle — from registration to re-enrollment — so you can focus on creating an unforgettable experience.

Best Practices

Send registration confirmations immediately with a clear checklist of required forms

Include packing lists and drop-off details at least 2 weeks before camp starts

Share weekly updates every Friday so parents feel connected to the camp experience

Include a counselor's personal note in weekly updates to make it feel authentic

Launch re-enrollment campaigns within 2 weeks of camp ending while excitement is high

Use the child's name in every subject line — parents open these emails instantly

Common Mistakes

Not sending packing lists early enough for parents to prepare

Failing to provide drop-off and pickup logistics before the first day

Sending generic weekly updates without specific activities or counselor notes

Waiting until spring to start re-enrollment campaigns — by then, families have found alternatives

Not mentioning that sessions sold out last year — urgency drives early enrollment

Forgetting to include photo galleries in weekly updates — parents want to see their kids

Personalization Tips

Summer camps fill their sessions through trust and excitement. Parents invest in camps that communicate professionally — confirming details, preparing families, and keeping them connected during the weeks their children are in your care.

These four templates cover the essential camp communications: confirming registrations with clear next steps, preparing families with packing lists and logistics, sharing weekly highlights that keep parents engaged, and driving early re-enrollment before families look elsewhere.

Sequenzy automates the entire camp communication timeline. Set up these templates once and let automation handle registration confirmations, pre-camp prep emails, weekly updates, and re-enrollment campaigns. Start with 1,000 free emails per month — enough for most camps to communicate with their entire parent community.
