Campminder

Campminder did not arrive with noise. It accumulated weight. Boulder, Colorado, 2001, when most camps were still juggling clipboards and coffee stains, Dan Konigsberg sat down on July 4th and started writing code with a clear objective: replace operational chaos with something reliable. What began as a focused build now runs through hundreds of the most respected camps in the world, quietly organizing the business of belonging. In a market crowded with surface-level tools, this is what durable SaaS looks like when it compounds over decades.

Dan Konigsberg still leads as CEO and Founder, with Paul Berliner as President, and a leadership bench that reads like a system built to last: Analiese Brown shaping people, Danny Lorenzo driving revenue, Laura Eppstein owning client experience, Mary Moore-Simmons engineering the core, Scott Nusz refining product, and Shauna Callahan keeping the numbers honest. No vanity titles, just operators who understand that when you power camps, you are not selling software, you are safeguarding memories. That clarity of mission is what separates vertical SaaS leaders from tools that never move past utility.

The product is not a feature set, it is infrastructure. Registration, payments, health records, communication, reporting, all stitched into a single platform built specifically for camps. Not adapted, not retrofitted, but born inside the use case. That focus is the edge. While others chase horizontal scale, Campminder goes vertical and deep, turning complexity into clarity so camp directors can spend less time managing systems and more time shaping experiences that actually stick. This is where specialized SaaS earns its keep, inside workflows that outsiders never fully understand.

After more than 20+ years, the signal is clear. A company in the 51–200 range by LinkedIn, roughly 80 employees by external estimates, with a reputation strong enough to earn Outside Magazine Best Places to Work 8 years running. Recognized by the American Camp Association, trusted by leading camps, and backed in part by Plexus Capital, but still carrying the discipline of a business that had to earn every inch before capital showed up.

The timing is not accidental. Camps today face higher expectations across safety, communication, and operational precision. Parents expect transparency. Staff expect systems that hold under pressure. Campminder operates directly in that tension, converting seasonal strain into structured, repeatable operations. The company is actively investing in data architecture and platform modernization to support more intelligent workflows and faster decision-making, reinforcing its position as core infrastructure rather than optional tooling.

Inside, the culture mirrors the product. Put Team First. Own It. Find a Better Way. Give Joy. Real benefits, real flexibility, real investment in growth. Not perks for show, but systems for people. The kind of place where builders who care about craft and consequence tend to stay and compound.

They are hiring across engineering, data, and customer experience, from Senior Software Engineers to Staff Data Engineers and client-facing operators who can hold the line with camp directors in peak season. If you have ever wanted to work on software that actually touches real lives, not just dashboards, this is one of those rare lanes.
