Copying whole camps, and improvements to pdfs
Are you looking for a simple and digital way to plan your camp? Then eCamp is just the thing for you! With this practical tool you can plan all the activities for your camp and create a detailed plan that you can print out and take with you wherever you go.
eCamp is a web-based app for camp and course planning. The application is specialised for camps and courses of youth associations and for Y+S offers in the sport of camp sports/trekking. However, it is open to all interested parties, whether youth associations, school camps or other sports.

Development
The initial development phase is done. All features for the MVP: Camp are available (feature-complete).
3.α
Alpha
This version serves as a temporary test version, so it still contains some bugs and complicated user interfaces. The data entered on this version will be deleted after this phase.
3.β
Closed beta
Isolated bugs. As of this version, however, the database was no longer reset. Could be used for real but not time-critical camp planning. The limited number of beta testers had to expect maintenance interruptions.
3.0
MVP: Camp
From this version onwards, eCamp v3 is free to use for everyone. All essential features of eCamp v2 are available for camp planning. Course planning was not yet implemented for this version.
3.1
MVP: Course
After our go-live of the MVP: Camp release we are focusing on the performance for the next camp season and the features for course planning.
3.X
New Features
Only after the launch of MVP: Course will we devote ourselves to the development of additional features that are not included in eCamp v2. For the time being, we will therefore not accept feature requests.

Questions & Answers
How secure is my data at eCamp?
In addition to the development, the core team also maintains a freely usable instance. The server is operated as a best-effort. For the operation of the server we use modern cloud solutions. This includes regular backups and server updates. Nevertheless we cannot guarantee uninterrupted availability.
What will happen to eCamp v2?
The original eCamp version 2 can still be used for a limited time at ecamp.pfadiluzern.ch. However, the code is difficult to maintain and updates can no longer be installed. The creation of new camps on eCamp v2 has now been deactivated. No data will be migrated from v2 to v3. We recommend that you download old camps that you want to keep as PDF files and archive them yourself, and switch to eCamp v3 as soon as possible.
I have a question about eCamp v2
