Koddler Summer Camp Directory

Koddler is an online community which focuses on helping parents and caregivers find local, kid-friendly events and destinations, from local children’s gyms to upcoming concerts. 
Since 2010, Koddler has offered a seasonal Summer Camp Directory which has been a hit with our membership.  The driving force behind the creation of our directory has been our community of businesses and parents who have been requesting an easy way to research and connect. Now in its third year, we look forward to making the 2012 Summer Camp Directory even better. Take a moment to learn about Koddler and how our directory stands out among our peers.

A Listing is a Listing...Period
Most online camp directories offer an inexpensive option where you can list your camp name, phone number, and perhaps a small description. Pay some more money and you can have an online map of your camp location and a link to your website. Even more and you get a logo or photos. Pay for the top level and you can list in a bunch of categories. You either go affordable and get a basic presence or shell out a ton for a reasonable listing.
On Koddler, a listing is a listing. We offer a single level of listing for a very reasonable price. On top of that, our listings are feature rich. Every listing includes:
• Camp Name
• Camp Address
• Phone Number
• Email Address
• Website
• Target Age Range
• Description up to 2,500 characters
• Session Dates
• Cost
• Unlimited Categories
• Twitter Feed
• Camp Logo
• Up to 5 photos with captions
• Promotions and Coupons
• Listing in one of the State Directories
• Residential programs additionally listed in the Residential Directory
• Ability to accept comments/ratings from Koddler members
• Badge to display your Koddler rating on your website
• Weekly reporting of the number of website visits, emails and facebook likes generated on your listing
 

Everything listed above is available for a single listing fee.
 

Real-Time Updates
We all know that from the time you place the listing until the time camp starts, changes happen. No need to fill out a change for or make a request by email. React immediately by logging into Koddler and making edits real-time. All with a few clicks and no need to wait.

Location, Location, Location
If you are a day camp just outside of a major city, it can be difficult to find a good directory that serves your area. On Koddler, every visitor enters their current location and we calculate the distance to each camp. This allows the parents to sort by the distance they are willing to travel and find your camp quickly.

Exposure
Most directories rely on search engines to deliver all their visitors to listings. The reality is that this is an extremely important strategy that we use as well. A significant amount of our effort focuses on search engine optimization.
That being said, we have the unique ability to expand beyond the search engines. Koddler is a year-round parenting resource where repeat visitors explore our event calendar. To capture this traffic, Koddler promotes the camp directories through the front page of the site and our weekly Koddler Local email newsletter. To top if off, we leverage various online advertising mediums such as Facebook and Google. That's a lot of bang for your buck!

Enhanced Searching
Many sites take the "laundry list" approach and force parents to spend a lot of time researching. Koddler offers a more intelligent directory that allows parents to sort and filter by distance from their home, camp popularity, child’s age, etc. That list trims down quickly, and any directory that saves parents time gains exposure quickly.
Finally...Better Value
If you are on the fence, consider this...with all its functionality, Koddler costs a lot less than competing sites.  Better yet, for ACA members we are offering a 30% discount on the already low listing price.  Simply enter the discount code aca2012Save30 on the payment page.
