Who We Are

At CampMinder, we build beautiful, intuitive, web-based systems to streamline summer camp business operations. Since 2001, CampMinder has been an industry leader serving over 900 camps and 500k+ campers throughout the United States and beyond.  

Headquartered in Boulder, Colorado, CampMinder cultivates a purpose-driven, values-led culture. Our #1 priority is employee engagement. Engaged employees bring their best selves to work which helps create a powerful experience for our clients. That's why our mission is to foster a world where work is fulfilling and life is fun -for the employees, camps, and families we serve. This focus has resulted in being named one of Outside Magazine’s Best Places to Work in America (2017, 2018, 2019, and 2020), an INC. Magazine Best Workplace (2019), one of Built in Colorado’s Best Places to Work in Colorado (2019, 2020, and 2021), and a Colorado Company to Watch (2018).

Culture
We are a highly collaborative and transparent organization, with a culture rooted in our core values. Product and Engineering team members work closely together. We value brainstorming and solving problems as teams, rather than individually. We don’t always agree on everything, but we resolve our differences respectfully.

We break our work down in small portions and fully embrace Agile methodologies.
