Feature · Direct Booking & Free Trials

Direct Booking & Free Trials for Kids Activity Centres.

Happy Kamper gives kids activity centres a public booking site where parents browse activities by category, age and schedule and book directly, no Instagram DMs or WhatsApp back-and-forth. Centres can offer free trial classes with a capacity cap per activity, and a trials board tracks each trial from scheduled to converted.

Most centers turn potential enrollments into actual enrollments through a tangle of Instagram DMs, WhatsApp chats and screenshots of available times. Happy Kamper gives you a public booking site where parents can find you and book directly, a free trial system that brings more parents in, where you set how many trial spots each class opens, so trials never crowd out your paying enrollments, and a board that follows every trial from scheduled to converted. The whole thing, in one place.

A booking site of your own. Your logo, your photos, every activity bookable from one link.
Free trials, set up your way. Attach to a class, or stand up a dedicated trial slot.

The booking site

Can you put a booking site in your Instagram bio?

Every Happy Kamper center gets a public booking site. It shows your locations, your activities, your schedules and your photos, all under your name. Drop the link in your Instagram bio, your Facebook page, your WhatsApp business profile. Parents tap it, browse your classes, and book on the spot. No DMs, no back-and-forth, no "let me check and get back to you."

  • Provider-wide site. Every location and every activity bookable from one link. Best for the link in your Instagram bio, where a parent might want to browse before they book.
  • Direct activity links. Want to send a specific class to a specific parent? Grab the link to that one activity from the web portal and paste it into WhatsApp. They land on that class, ready to book.
  • Looks like your center. Your logo, your photos, your colors, your activity descriptions. We host it, you fill it.
Booking to enrollment flow
At booking, parents enter the basics: child details and their own contact info. They pay at checkout for paid activities. They get a confirmation by WhatsApp and email, instantly, with a QR code for entry. That's all they need to attend.
Free trials

How do free trials turn browsing parents into paying ones?

Free trials close more enrollments than any other tool you have. A parent who's been on the fence books a trial, comes in, sees the class, meets the coach. The question is just how easy you make it for them to book, and how you set the trial up. Happy Kamper handles both.

Two ways to offer a trial

Pick the one that fits the class.

Trials show up on your site exactly the way you set them up. You choose the shape.

  • Attach a free trial to an existing class.The single-session free pass on top of your paying activity. Best when you want trial parents to experience the real class alongside your regular students.
  • Stand up a dedicated trial activity.Its own schedule, its own slots, set up just for trials. Best for high-touch onboarding or when you want trials grouped together.
Capacity guardrails

You set the cap. We hold the line.

Set the cap once. Every session of that activity respects it.

Set a free trial cap per activity, and it applies to every session of that activity. Two free trial spots in a fifteen-capacity swim class means thirteen paying spots stay paying. Trials count against total capacity, so you never overbook.

What the parent gets

Booked. Confirmed. Ready to attend.

When a parent books a free trial, they get an instant confirmation by WhatsApp and email. The QR code for entry is in the message, alongside the class details, location and time. No app download required to attend, no waiting for you to send anything. The confirmation also includes a 5-digit code, optional, that lets the parent link the booking to a Happy Kamper parent app account if they want ongoing updates. But the QR is all they need to show up.

The trials board

Where is every trial tracked, from scheduled to converted?

The trials board is where free trials become enrollments, or don't. Every trial booked on your site shows up as a card. Cards move across five columns as the trial moves through its life. The parent's contact is always one tap away. The conversion rate is always at the top of the screen.

Scheduled

The trial is booked. The parent's confirmed. The QR code is on its way. You don't have to do anything yet.

How it connects

How does Direct Booking connect to the rest of your system?

Every booking taken on your Direct Booking site is a real booking inside Happy Kamper, the moment the parent hits confirm. No double entry, no nightly sync, no separate dashboard to keep an eye on.

Do bookings become real enrollments?

A booking on the Direct Booking site creates a real enrollment in your Happy Kamper schedule, instantly. Want approval first instead? Switch the activity to require approval and bookings land as pending until you confirm.

Payment in, the same way

Paid bookings collect payment at checkout, the same way the rest of your billing already works. The parent pays once. The booking and the payment land together.

How is capacity kept in sync everywhere?

A booking on the site fills a seat in the schedule. Trials, parent-app bookings, and provider-side registrations all share the same capacity. One number, everywhere it matters.

How do parents connect to the app?

The 5-digit code in every booking confirmation is the bridge to the parent app. Optional, not required: parents attend with just the QR code in their confirmation. But when they're ready to download Happy Kamper, entering the code links their booking to their parent account and brings them into your parent feed for ongoing updates.
