Feature	Classes (Drop-in)	Camps
Pricing	The participant has the option to pay-per-session, or set of sessions	The participant does not get the choice to choose which sessions they attend. They register and pay one upfront fee.
Registration	Customers can register for individual sessions	Customers are auto-enrolled into all sessions

Pricing and Registration are **the most important things to understand** when deciding to list something as a **class** or a **camp**. ⚠️ **Important**: Once you create a camp or class, you will not be able to convert the camp into a class, or vice versa. While they both involve group activities and instruction, there are some key differences that help define how each is used in our system. * * * ## **Classes (Drop-in)** Classes are short, **recurring sessions** that customers can register for one at a time. This "drop-in" flexibility makes them ideal for skill-building over time without a long-term commitment. **Key Features:** - 🗓️ Recurring (e.g., weekly or bi-weekly) - ⏱️ Short duration (typically 30–60 minutes) - 🎯 Focus on skill development over time - 👥 Smaller, often level-specific groups - 💳 **Pay per session** or via multi-session packages - ✅ Customers **choose which sessions** to attend - 📍 Example: _“Beginner Pitching – every Wednesday at 5PM"_ * * * ## **Camps** Camps are structured, one-off or multi-day programs where customers register once and attend the full experience. They’re typically offered during school breaks or as special events. **Key Features:** - 📅 Multi-day or one-time events - 🕒 Longer daily duration (e.g., 3–6 hours per day) - 🚀 Fast-paced or immersive experiences - 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 Larger, mixed-level groups are common - 📍 Example: _“Spring Break Hitting Camp – March 11–15, 9 AM–1 PM daily”_ * * * ## **🧭 Quick Comparison**

Feature	Classes (Drop-in Sessions)	Camps
Duration	30–60 min	Half-day or full-day
Frequency	Weekly, ongoing	One-time or multi-day
Structure	Ongoing progression	Immersive, intensive
Audience	Smaller, skill-based groups	Larger, mixed-skill groups
Scheduling	Ex: Repeats weekly	Defined date range
Pricing	Pay per session, or set of sessions	One upfront payment at time of registration
Registration	Customers select individual sessions	Automatically registered into all sessions
Credits	Can apply per session	Cannot be applied to camps

* * * 🧠 **Tip** - If it runs weekly and customers pick the dates or sessions they attend — it’s a **class**. - If it runs over consecutive days and the customer does not get to choose which sessions they attend, and must pay in full, upfront — it’s a **camp**.
