# Writers camp questions
Source: https://docs.aden.space/docs/help/organisations/writers-camps/questions

Short answers to what organisers and writers ask most about camps.
## Do writers need an Aden account? [#do-writers-need-an-aden-account]

Not to accept an invite or to apply. They need one to see their room and week, and to claim a spot added by name. Any email works, and it's free.

## Can I add people before I invite them? [#can-i-add-people-before-i-invite-them]

Yes. Add them by name, seat them, and invite them when the lineup is ready. A draft camp emails nobody until you send the first invite.

## Does Fill the week cost extra? [#does-fill-the-week-cost-extra]

No. Fill the week, the rules in your own words and **Ask AI** on Sessions are included.

## Can I undo a fill or an AI change? [#can-i-undo-a-fill-or-an-ai-change]

Yes. The message after a fill has **Undo**, and **History** keeps every earlier lineup to preview and restore.

## Why doesn't a writer see a day I planned? [#why-doesnt-a-writer-see-a-day-i-planned]

It's probably a prep day. Prep days only show in the organisers' plan: writers, partners and the public page never see them.

## Can writers see each other's emails? [#can-writers-see-each-others-emails]

No. Writers see names, roles and genres, never emails or invite status.

## Can I copy this camp for next year? [#can-i-copy-this-camp-for-next-year]

Yes. Choose **Copy a camp** on **New camp** and switch on what comes along. See [Create a camp](/docs/help/organisations/writers-camps/create-a-camp).

## What happens to a dropped track? [#what-happens-to-a-dropped-track]

It's archived and leaves every board. Its writers find it under **Second life**, with your note on what they may do with it.

## Can I run a camp from ChatGPT or Claude? [#can-i-run-a-camp-from-chatgpt-or-claude]

Yes. Connect Aden to your assistant and it can create a camp, plan the week, seat people and decide on tracks. Anything that emails people shows you who gets what first. See [AI assistants](/docs/help/apps/mcp-apps/editions).

## What's a program? [#whats-a-program]

A camp a brand runs, like an academy. It works the same way. See [Run a brand academy](/docs/help/organisations/brand-academies).

## What happens when I delete a camp? [#what-happens-when-i-delete-a-camp]

Its people, applications and draft invoices go with it. Sessions and issued invoices stay.

## Can I make the camp invite only? [#can-i-make-the-camp-invite-only]

Yes. Set **Visibility** to **Private** under **Settings → Applications**. The public page closes and people join by personal invite only.
