Growth brand · New York & Connecticut

A 30-year family brand, rebuilt with its families in the room.

Camp Specialists has helped more than 18,000 families find the right overnight camp. Their old site had been replaced by a "coming soon" page. We designed and built the new one alongside their team, one comment at a time.

Drag to compare. Before: the previous site (archived May 2026), which was replaced by a "coming soon" page over the summer. After: the new site, live October 6, 2026.

Where they started
  • The previous site was down to a single "coming soon" page for most of the summer, the busiest season for camp decisions.
  • Inner pages felt flat to the team. The cause turned out to be empty image slots and text-first layouts, not the design.
What we built
  1. Summer 2026
    Heritage design system

    Navy and cream, serif type and real camp photography, built around the brand they already had.

  2. Aug to Oct
    Review at scale

    Their team commented directly on the pages. Every comment was tracked and closed, with a version history they could check.

  3. Sep 2026
    Process, FAQ and testimonials rebuilt

    Interactive mockups first, then the build, with a parent testimonial carousel and director profiles.

  4. Oct 2026
    Blog they run themselves

    A simple editor with drafts, preview and scheduling, and a screenshot guide.

What changed
  • Launched October 6, 2026, with a family match form and newsletter signup wired in.
  • The team publishes its own posts without a developer.

“LOVE the layout of the homepage. Please try to stay with this theme throughout.”
