Frequently asked questions

Is ClassDojo free for our camp?
Yes. ClassDojo is free for your camp, your staff, and your families, so no one pays for photo access. ClassDojo offers optional services directly to families, like ClassDojo Plus and Dojo Tutor, and that's what keeps it free for everyone else. We never sell personal information, and we never share it with advertisers.

Which age groups does ClassDojo work for?
Camps use ClassDojo with every age they serve, from first-time campers through teens in leadership programs. Staff choose what each group sees, so the experience fits the campers in the cabin.

How do our staff get set up?
Each staff member creates an account and sets up their group in a few minutes — no IT project, no training day.

How do families join?
Staff share an invite link or code, and families connect from the free app on their phone. Many families already use ClassDojo with their child's school, so there's often nothing new to download at all.

How is our campers' data protected?
Your camp's information belongs to your camp, and directors control what gets shared and who can see it. ClassDojo is COPPA-compliant, never sells personal information, and never shares it with advertisers. Our privacy and security page has the full detail.

Will families use it over the summer?
Many families already use ClassDojo during the school year, so it's already on their phone. New families can join quickly, and it's free and easy for them to use.

We only run for a few weeks each summer. Is it worth it?
Yes. A session moves fast, and ClassDojo helps your team share updates, reminders, and moments from the day without adding more work. You can set it up in minutes before the first bus arrives.
