Every child accounted for. Every handoff verified.
At any moment you know who is on site, and at pickup you know who they left with. A scan replaces the sign-in sheet, the face match at the door, and the headcount done twice a day.
You know the feeling.
Paper sign-in sheets. Visual face-matching. Parents showing up and just saying a child's name. Manual headcounts done once or twice a day. The gap between what you know and what's actually happening is where risk lives.
The person at the door on pickup day is often a counselor in their first summer, meeting a parent for the first time. The system they are handed is a clipboard and their best judgment.
There's a better way.
What changes at the gate.
average check-in at Camp Lurecrest, where paper sign-in sheets used to be
an exact count of who is on site, and who is on which bus
fewer daily emails and calls at Spartan All Stars, where parents now handle pickups and account questions themselves
Check-in moves at the pace of a scan. At pickup, the person at the door is checked against the authorized list on screen, so a new counselor doesn't have to recognize a parent they have never met. The headcount updates itself, and buses process as a group instead of one clipboard line at a time.
“Easily reduced my daily emails and calls by 75 to 100 per day. And it made pickup so much easier. I didn't even know I was looking for a more streamlined solution, but it was a bonus and made parents so much happier.”
For after-school programs
The risk window is the walk from dismissal to your door. Scan-in shows who has arrived against the roster of who should have, while there is still time to make a call. And because every check-in and check-out is timestamped, the records are there when a licensing or subsidy review asks for them.
How FunFangle does it.
One wristband tap verifies identity, confirms authorization, and updates your headcount in real time.
The right child, confirmed by a scan
A wristband tap brings up the photo, name, and profile. Staff confirm against a face on screen instead of a name called out across the parking lot.
Pickup without guessing
The authorized contacts list is on screen at check-out. The handoff is scan-verified and logged, including who picked up and when.
A headcount that stays current
Scan in, scan out. The dashboard shows the exact count at any moment, so nobody has to stop the program to count heads.
Buses without the clipboard
Group scanning for arrival and departure. You know who is on which bus before it pulls out.
Good to know.
“Our staff are seasonal, many of them teenagers.”
If they can scan a bracelet, they can run check-in. The screen tells them who the child is and who is allowed to take them home.
“Does it work where there is no Wi-Fi?”
Yes. FunFangle was built for camp. Scanning works offline and the records sync when the connection returns.
“We already have a registration system.”
Keep it. Rosters import from CampBrain or UltraCamp, and FunFangle has connected to ActivityHero and custom registration systems by API.
“What happens to the records?”
Every check-in, check-out, and handoff is timestamped and kept. Your data is yours, and you can export it at any time.
“Who do we call in July?”
A person who knows your setup. Live support runs through camp season, including weekends.
Who uses attendance & check-in?
Frequently asked questions.
How does wristband check-in work?
A wristband tap brings up the camper's photo, name, and profile. Staff confirm against a face on screen instead of a name called out across the parking lot, and the headcount updates with every scan in and scan out.
How does FunFangle verify authorized pickup?
The authorized contacts list is on screen at check-out. The handoff is scan-verified and logged, including who picked up and when, so a new counselor does not have to recognize a parent they have never met.
Can we see how many kids are on site right now?
Yes. The dashboard shows the exact count at any moment, and group scanning for buses means you know who is on which bus before it pulls out.
How long does check-in take?
At Camp Lurecrest, check-in averages 30 seconds per camper, where paper sign-in sheets used to be.
Does it work for after-school programs?
Yes. Scan-in shows who has arrived against the roster of who should have, while there is still time to make a call. Every check-in and check-out is timestamped, so the records are there when a licensing or subsidy review asks for them.
