creating registrations for enrichment/special programs

[Ed Patterson]

Has anyone created a SINGLE registration for all the enrichment or special programs you hold during the school year? 

 

I don't think it is the best way to do it but if someone has done it can you share with me why it works better than a registration for each individual activity (etiquette, basketball skills, breakaway boxes... yes we want to have people register for them all but...)

 

Any questions or wisdom are appreciated.

I did it a year ago for our summer camp and it wasn't ideal but it was functional and so much more convenient than the old paper form. 

I put it all on one registration form because it was easier for parents to register one child for multiple classes than to have them complete the form multiple times.  There's also an enrollment max feature in WhippleHIll that made it quick to set limits so that when the class was full parents could make another selection without having to start the process over just to make a different selection.  The notification feature was also nice as we were able to quickly confirm registrations and processing of payments.

It was a bit cumbersome because there were about 45 camps that had to go on the registration form but we had over 900 registrants and received some very positive feedback from parents about how easy the process was.
