    Summer Camp Management Database - Any Suggestions?


    I am still a newbie when it comes to Access. I pretty well mastered excel without it being my full time job, but it has some limitations. I can see a huge benefit to using access. I am the camp director of a non-profit, mid-sized summer camp with 85 seasonal employees and 3,000 visitors during the summer. My goal is to create a database that would track applicants through the job application process, manage salaries, budget projections, and schedules for employees including time off. I have looked at some classroom database templates, but they all lack the ability to manage the financial side. Does anyone have a template they wouldn't mind sharing or know of a good place to look for something similar that I can edit for my own use? I'm not really in the market to buy something, since it is a non-profit and is a would be nice to have deal. Thanks for any suggestions or help!

    I doubt you will find a single template encompassing all that functionality. That really is a LOT!

    For scheduling, you might find this of interest https://www.accessforums.net/databas...ses-18459.html

    Payroll accounting is a challenge because of tax and labor laws. Recommend QuickBooks or similar OTS software. Considering the time and effort you would have to devote to developing db, OTS is a cost effective option.

    I worked for Camp Fire and we paid a contractor at least $60,000 to customize and maintain a registration program based on Access. Our accounting software was Great Plains and it cost thousands for each module purchased.
    How to attach file: http://www.accessforums.net/showthread.php?t=70301 To provide db: copy, remove confidential data, run compact & repair, zip w/Windows Compression.

    I'm running a summer camp in Taiwan and am taking the winter season to work on streamlining the system. I'd sure appreciate it if you could share the database you mentioned. My email is "david" and then the ending "@englishcamptaiwan.com".

    Thanks!
