Fall Release
Comments, the new Y+S rules from 2027, and much more
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.

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 read-only until spring 2027. However, the code is difficult to maintain and thus we don’t update it any longer.
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.
Does eCamp v3 support the new Y+S education system 2027?
Yes. There is a dedicated camp template for Y+S camps from 2027 onwards. With the “Y+S activity characteristics” content block, you can select the characteristics covered in each activity, and with the “Y+S physical activity time” content block, you can record the physical activity time for each schedule entry of an activity. The physical activity time can also be shown in the picasso.
