The arc of a camp

  1. Build the camp
  2. Open it, or hide it
  3. Take applications
  4. Confirm the roster
  5. Make the groups
  6. Publish the schedule
  7. Run the day
  8. Print the run of show
  9. Close the splits

The builder asks the questions a camp actually has

Name, host, dates, venue, and every room with its capacity per block. By the end, Camp knows the roster your rooms support, and warns you before you overbook it.

  • Rooms, capacity and dark days, per room
  • Writer target checked against the room maths
  • Cover image, tagline and a landing page written from the answers
  • Save and come back. A draft camp waits where you left it

Public, invite-only, or nothing leaves the room

A festival wants the directory listing. A label with an unannounced album wants the opposite. Private camps are unlisted and carry no public roster. Writers see the name only after signing an NDA.

  • Public and open: listed, applications on
  • Public, invite-only: listed, roster closed
  • Private: unlisted, no index, NDA before any detail
  • The database enforces it. Private camps are not fetchable

One form, prefilled from the writer's own profile

Applicants arrive with craft, credits, PRO and IPI already attached, so your questions can be the ones only you need to ask. Filter, shortlist, offer or decline from one working desk.

  • Your own questions alongside the profile
  • Drafts save; nobody loses a half-written application
  • Status counts, search, bulk shortlist and decline
  • An accepted offer puts the writer straight on the roster

Who is in, who is late, who dropped this morning

Everyone on one board: role, invitation status, PRO and IPI, city and arrival. Travel and dietary notes stay organizer-only. Invitations track invited, opened, accepted, declined.

  • Add directly, or invite by name with a private link
  • PRO and IPI collected at signup, not at demo day
  • CSV export for the venue, the caterer and the tour manager
  • Organizer-only notes never appear in the writer portal

Rotation that gets everyone into the room with everyone

Set the rule once and Camp builds a no-repeat rotation. When the maths genuinely can't work, it says so plainly instead of quietly duplicating a pairing. Every group is editable and lockable by hand.

  • Coach plus writers, per room, per block
  • Honest warnings when a no-repeat rotation is impossible
  • Conflict flags for duplicate writers, missing coach, over capacity
  • Lock a group and later regeneration leaves it alone

Nothing reaches a writer's phone until you say so

Days down, rooms across. Move blocks, fan one across matching days, let Camp flag clashes. Publishing is deliberate. Writers see only the published version, updated the moment you change it.

  • Block types for writing, welcome, demo, showcase, meal, travel
  • Conflict detection across rooms, coaches and groups
  • Publish and unpublish, on your timing
  • Change notices go out with the branded camp emails

Every writer wakes up knowing where to be

The writer portal is phone-first, because that's where it gets read, in a taxi, three minutes before a block. Up next shows the room, co-writers and coach. Pinned notes carry the door code and wifi.

  • Today, then the whole camp, in exact parity with HQ
  • Group and coach profiles, room notes and backline
  • Pinned notes for the things everyone asks twice
  • Private session notes for coaches and producers

One sheet you can trust at 7am and again at 7pm

The printed sheet comes from the same data as the board, so the paper on the studio door can never drift from the phone in a writer's hand. A4 or US Letter, laid out to be read across a room.

  • Generated from the live schedule, never retyped
  • A4 and US Letter, print stylesheet included
  • Room-by-room and day-by-day views
  • Reprint after any change without rebuilding anything

Splits agreed in the room, while everyone still remembers

Each song carries key, BPM, contributors and percentages. Writers sign in the room, not four months later over email. A missing IPI is the one thing that blocks the sheet, and Camp flags it before demo day.

  • Percentages per contributor, with signature status
  • Missing PRO or IPI flagged on the profile early
  • Live lyrics the whole group edits together, voice memos recorded in the app, tap to tempo
  • Export the sheet for your admin or your publisher

Five steps from an idea to a published camp

  1. Name the camp

    Title, host, one line about why writers should be in the room.

  2. Set dates and venue

    Load-in, first block, demo day, load-out. The studio, the address, the door code.

  3. Rooms and capacity

    Name every room, set how many writers it holds per block, and Camp tells you the roster it supports.

  4. Groups and rotation

    Choose how writers rotate. Nobody repeats a co-writer until everyone has met.

  5. Visibility, then publish

    Open applications, invite-only, or private and NDA-gated. Publish and the landing page goes live.

The desk you run it from, and the phone in the room.
