# Create a camp
Source: https://docs.aden.space/docs/help/organisations/writers-camps/create-a-camp

Set up a new camp with its name, dates and place, copy an earlier one, or build it from your chats and plannings.
A camp only needs a name to start. Dates, the place and everything else can come later. A new camp stays a draft, and nobody hears about it until you send the first invite.

## Create one [#create-one]

1. In your business, open **Camps** and click **New camp**.
2. Type the camp's name.
3. Add the dates and the place. The place can be one of your studios, or any name you type.
4. Use the pills to add a description, the number of spots or a price if you want to.
5. Under **Sessions**, pick how the days start: **Later**, **One session**, or a **Sample day** with meals, three writing sessions and a playback.
6. Click **Create camp**.

Already planned some sessions on those dates? A pill shows them. Tick the ones that belong to the camp and they join it.

<Callout>
  Faster: press ⌘K and type something like "new camp Nordic with five sessions". New camp opens filled in, and nothing is made until you click 

  **Create camp**

  .
</Callout>

You can also select the days on your calendar and choose to make a camp. New camp opens with those dates.

## Copy an earlier camp [#copy-an-earlier-camp]

1. On **New camp**, choose **Copy a camp**.
2. Pick the camp to copy and the new dates.
3. Switch on what comes along: **Schedule**, **Public page**, **Joining and contract**, **People** and **Lineup**. People come over as names only. Nobody is invited.
4. Click **Create camp**.

To copy a camp into another business you run, choose **Export camp** in the camp's actions. Then, in the other business, copy **From a camp file**.

## Build it from chats, emails or a planning [#build-it-from-chats-emails-or-a-planning]

Planned the camp in a group chat, an email thread or a spreadsheet? Bring it in instead of retyping it.

1. On **New camp**, choose **Import chats, emails or a planning**.
2. Paste the text, or add up to 8 photos or PDFs.
3. Aden reads the details, the schedule, the rooms and the names into a proposal. Leave out anything you don't want.
4. Create the camp. The names land as people, and nobody is invited.

On a camp you already made, press ⌘K and choose **Import chats, emails or a planning**. It only fills what the camp leaves empty.

## Change or delete a camp [#change-or-delete-a-camp]

Every camp page has the camp's panel on the right: photo, icon, name, status, dates, place, price and public page. Click a row to change it. Press ⌘I to show or hide the panel.

To delete a camp, open its **Settings**. Its people, applications and draft invoices go with it. Sessions and issued invoices stay.
