More Qualified Leads for Your Camp, Without the Guesswork
You run a great camp. We run your Google Ads. CampAds builds and manages paid search for for-profit camps, so your ad budget turns into real enrollment inquiries instead of wasted clicks.
Most Camp Ad Accounts Leak Money
Most camps are either invisible on Google or paying for the wrong things. We see it constantly: accounts sitting paused during enrollment season, hundreds of tiny campaigns too small to compete, and budget poured into channels that rarely produce a single inquiry. The demand is there. Families are searching for your camp right now. The account just isn't built to catch them.
What We Handle for You
Once we have access to your Google Ads account, we review it top to bottom and show you what's working, what's broken, and what to fix first. No exports or busywork on your end.
We restructure the account into a few well-funded, tightly focused campaigns instead of a sprawl of fragments that can't compete or learn.
A clear plan for how your budget should be spread across brand, non-brand, and geographic campaigns to reach the families most likely to enroll.
Fresh ads written for your camp, speaking to the families you want and answering the objections you know you face.
Phone calls, form fills, and tour bookings tracked properly.
We pace spend into your enrollment season and pull back when sessions fill, so every dollar lands when it matters most.
Search first, then Performance Max, YouTube, and remarketing where they earn their keep, judged on cost per qualified lead, not guesswork.
We actively manage the account month over month, refining keywords, bids, audiences, and creative.
Clear monthly reporting so you always see what's running and how it's performing.
Nonprofit Camp? Start With the Free Money First.
If your camp is a 501(c)(3), you may qualify for the Google Ad Grant: $10,000 a month in free search advertising. That's a different program, and it's where we'd start. This page is for for-profit and private camps that fund their own ads.
See the Summer Camp LaunchpadWhat a Closer Look Reveals
We recently looked at a premium Northeast overnight camp's account. When its core search campaigns were active, they brought in enrollment inquiries at $15 to $35 each, strong economics for a camp charging thousands per session. But the account was capturing less than 10% of available search demand, sitting paused during peak enrollment season, and had burned over $5,000 on hundreds of tiny city-by-city campaigns that produced almost nothing. The fixes were clear and immediate. That's the kind of waste we find, and what our management fixes.
