Setting up your forms

Forms in Campfront let you collect extra information that isn’t part of the standard camper or staff profile. They can be used for anything unique to your camp, like travel details, medical info, permissions, or packing confirmations. All data stays organized, secure, and easy to manage.

Managing forms

In the sidebar, select Forms to view your Camper forms or Staff forms.

Each view displays a table showing:

  • Form name

  • Status (draft or published)

  • Last published / edited dates

  • Submissions count

Forms can be linked to a season, camper group, or session (for campers), or by staff type and contract type (for staff). You can switch between seasons at any time to review or copy older forms.

Creating and editing forms

The form builder is split into three main sections:

  1. Inputs (left panel) – drag and drop field types such as short answer, dropdown, checkbox, file upload, and more.

  2. Canvas (center) – build and preview the form layout in real time.

  3. Settings (right panel) – adjust form name, description, type, due date, lock preferences, and submission options.

Forms begin as drafts and can be published when ready, making them available for parents or staff to complete in their dashboards.

Generate forms

The Generate option helps you create forms faster. You can either:

  • Enter a short prompt (e.g. “Create a field trip permission form”), or

  • Upload a blank reference file (PDF or image).

Campfront will automatically generate matching fields based on your prompt or upload.
