When you are completing the activity entry form, you have two options: To enter your entire camp season in ONE post (the quick and easy option), or the somewhat-more-tedious but more effective option, which is to enter the camps week by week or option by option.
Posting your camps all at once, with a generic title (“Summer camp at Camp Ranequa,” for example), is fast. You can paste all of the details into the Long Description box, and make sure you click in the calendar on each and every day you’re holding camp.
But posting them week by week or subject by subject is more effective, because it pushes more information at a glance to the parents reading our site (e.g., Horseback riding program at Camp Ranequa, Harry Potter Camp at Camp Ranequa). You can add a week, then save it, then hit the Clone tab, change the info, and save again, as a quick way of entering multiple weeks.
