Case Study: Acadia Institute of Oceanography boosts registrations and saves admin time with ACTIVE Network's Camp & Class Manager

Acadia Institute of Oceanography boosts January registrations by 137% with ACTIVE Network

The Acadia Institute of Oceanography, a marine science camp, faced a significant drop in registrations and was burdened by a manual, paper-based administrative process. Director Sheryl Gilmore needed to save time, increase registrations, and boost revenue, prompting her to seek an online solution from ACTIVE Network, initially using their Thriva software.

ACTIVE Network's solution, specifically their ACTIVEWorks Camp & Class Manager software, streamlined operations by moving registration online, automating data collection, and simplifying payments. This resulted in a massive time savings for staff, a dramatic increase in registrations—including a 137% rise in January sign-ups—and allowed the camp to meet its annual capacity months earlier. The vendor, ACTIVE Network, enabled the camp's director to reclaim weeks of preparation time and focus more on students and programs.
