Run the camp day by day

Share files, keep everyone on time, and change the lineup while the camp is running.

Find today's camp

Camps opens on the camp running today, or the next one to start, with "Day 5 of 7" or "Starts in 12 days". Every camp page has the camp's panel on the right, with its details, people, rooms, partners, tracks, files and links. Right-click any row for what you can do with it.

  1. In the camp's panel, click Add document, or All files to open the camp's files with folders.
  2. Upload briefs, references, maps or rooming lists.
  3. Choose who sees each one: Share with the camp for everyone, or Keep to organisers.

Files start with the organisers only unless you share them. Contracts always stay with the organisers. Writers find shared files under Files in their camp space, and in their team's Documents.

Add reference links the same way, under links in the panel.

Keep everyone on time

Ten minutes before a writing round stops for a meal, a break or a new round, everyone sees what comes next: "10 min left in Room 2", "Next: Lunch at 14:00". It's a toast on the web and desktop, and a notification on the phone. If the next round is in another room, it says which.

On the desktop app, the camp's day sits in the live rail: you see the people and rooms, writers see their room.

Change the plan on the day

Someone arrives late or leaves early:

  1. On People, open their sheet and set the Days they come, plus a Note like "arrives Tuesday afternoon".
  2. On Sessions, move their seats, or ask: "Anna leaves Thursday after lunch".
  3. Click Send schedule so everyone has the latest version.

Groups change at lunch? Use Split at Lunch on that room. Every change can be undone from History.

Mark how the camp stands

Set the camp's status in its panel: draft, active, completed or archived. The colour shows everywhere the camp appears.
