Gallop Ahead of the Rush with Smarter Camp Management
The Clock Is Ticking
Summer camp season is the golden ticket for riding schools—a chance to boost revenue, attract new riders, and showcase your program. But as April rolls into May, the pressure’s on: empty slots mean lost income, and a chaotic signup process can turn eager parents away. Are you ready to make this your best summer yet, or will admin hurdles leave you scrambling?
The Stakes Are High
Picture this: a parent calls to register their kid for camp, but the line’s busy—or worse, unanswered. Another emails about availability, but it’s buried under a pile of lesson inquiries. By the time you respond, they’ve booked with the stable down the road. In the equestrian world, summer camps are a make-or-break moment, and every missed connection is a missed opportunity. Filling those slots isn’t just about marketing—it’s about having a system that works.
How to Be Camp-Ready and Booked Solid
Here’s the good news: you don’t have to do it alone. At Outshorse.com, we’ve seen what separates fully booked camps from half-empty ones—and it starts with nailing the admin game. Here’s how we help riding schools like yours shine:
- Seamless Signups: We manage calls and emails with lightning speed, ensuring no parent slips through the cracks. Every inquiry gets a prompt, professional response—because first impressions win bookings.
- Smart Scheduling: We fill your camp slots efficiently, matching riders to sessions and handling waitlists so you maximize capacity without the chaos.
- Admin Offload: We take over the paperwork—registrations, waivers, and inquiries—so you’re not bogged down by desk duties during crunch time.
- Communication Command: We keep parents informed with timely updates on camp details, ensuring they feel confident and connected from signup to saddle-up.
"We recently started using Outshorse. I’m now able to completely focus on what’s happening in the Centre and focus on my teaching/riding all while knowing there is a support system looking after bookings and calls. The phone is always answered and we know we are not missing out on business."
The Cost of Not Being Ready
Think about it: if your camp holds 20 kids at €300 each, that’s €6,000 on the line. Lose just five slots to disorganization, and you’re out €1,500—plus the future lessons those riders might’ve taken. On the flip side, a streamlined process doesn’t just fill camps; it builds loyalty. Parents talk, and a smooth experience turns them into your best promoters.
