Yes — select up to 3 camps and compare them side-by-side. You'll see age range, cost, dates, location, and category all in one view so you can make a decision without flipping between tabs. This is included with your free account.

No. Summerly is a planning tool, not a registration service. When you mark a camp as "Registered" in Summerly, that is for your own tracking purposes only. To actually register your child, you must visit the camp provider's website directly and complete their registration process. Each camp's detail page includes a direct link to the provider's registration page.

We research camps from provider websites, registration pages, and public sources. We aim for accuracy but camp details (dates, prices, availability) can change — always confirm directly with the camp provider before registering.

We update the catalog regularly throughout spring 2026. Some camps announce their full schedules earlier than others. If you notice something out of date, use the "Know a camp we're missing?" button on the camps page to flag it.

Absolutely — any registered user can submit camps directly from the camps page. We review every submission before it goes live.

Add your kids' ages and interests to their profiles (under your account), and Summerly will score each camp for compatibility. Camps get a match badge — "Great fit," "Good fit," or "Age match" — based on how well they align with your kids.

Your free account includes precise time-of-day overlap detection and full live sync to Google Calendar, Apple Calendar, and Outlook — changes in Summerly appear automatically on your family calendar.

Drag across any open dates on the calendar view to instantly search for camps that fit those dates. Results are filtered by your kids' ages and interests, so you only see camps that actually work for your family. It's the fastest way to fill gaps in your summer plan.

We cover 7 counties across Middle Tennessee: Davidson, Williamson, Rutherford, Wilson, Sumner, Robertson, and Cheatham. That includes Nashville, Brentwood, Franklin, Murfreesboro, Lebanon, Hendersonville, Gallatin, Springfield, and surrounding communities.
