New features for the summer camps
The newest improvements for the summer camps have arrived.
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.Ξ±
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.Ξ²
Closed beta
Isolated bugs. As of this version, however, the database is no longer reset. Can be used for real but not time-critical camp planning. The limited number of beta testers must expect maintenance interruptions.
3.0
MVP: Camp
From this version onwards, eCamp v3 will be free to use for everyone. All essential features of eCamp v2 are available for camp planning. Course planning will not yet be implemented for this version.
3.1
MVP: Course
After MVP: Camp we will focus on the features of 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 under this page (login). 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 be used at https://ecamp.pfadiluzern.ch until further notice. However, the code is getting old and difficult to maintain. For a long time there has been no further development for eCamp v2 except for critical bug fixes. No data is migrated from v2 to v3.
I have a question about eCamp v2
For questions/support about eCamp v2 please use the support function in eCamp v2 directly. No questions about eCamp v2 are answered on this page.
Who is behind eCamp?
eCamp is developed by a core team of volunteers. The source code is published as open source. Community participation is actively encouraged.
Does anybody support you financially?
Operating costs are funded by the Swiss Guide and Scout Movement. This landing page is powered by the open source plan of Netlify and our application translations are managed by lokalise.
