DRAFT DAY

Registration is open from March 26 until April 11  

 The Day Camper Satisfaction Insights Surveys provide a look at what family and staff really think of everything—from programming to safety, and food to facilities. This in-depth professionally designed research tool helps camps pinpoint strengths and growth opportunities according to respondents’ feedback. By revealing potential areas for improvement, camp leadership can identify an action plan that will help them better serve campers, staff, and parents.  

DCSI surveys help camps:

  • Determine areas of strength for the camper experience.
  • Identify areas of opportunity in programming, fundraising, facilities, marketing, retention, alumni, and more.
  • Manage perceptions and expectations of camper families.
  • Hear feedback from staff on how to improve their experience for better staff recruitment and retention 
  • Write up to three fully customizable questions for each survey. 
  • Collect the email addresses of family and staff who have filled out the survey so you may do targeted outreach and/or an incentive program. Email addresses will be kept separate from survey answers.   
  • Administer a 3 question mid-summer pulse survey for staff, at no additional cost.
