Summer planning, without the spreadsheet
The Louisville Camp Directory is step one, from two Louisville parents who got tired of building summer in too many browser tabs. We'd love to hear what's working, what isn't, and what you wish existed.
Find every camp now, and plan the whole summer next
- One front door for every camp The directory puts every Louisville camp in one searchable list instead of a dozen different sites, and it's already live and growing every week.
- The Saturday-morning summer plan The bigger picture we're working toward: a calm Saturday morning, a coffee or two, and the whole summer mapped out in one sitting, even with multiple kids, partial weeks, and friends' camps to line up. Winter break and spring break get a plan of their own too.
- Built for parents, not for ads We don't sell your data, run popups, or show ads. The directory exists to help you find the right camp and send you straight to the camp's own registration.
We're still planning, but here's the direction we're leaning
Today the directory is seeded from public sources, so almost every camp in Louisville is in here whether they've talked to us or not. The next step is letting camps confirm and own their listing, so the dates, ages, and prices come straight from them. You'll see a verified badge when that happens.
Family accounts are already live, so once you create one, your saved camps, your kids' info, and your plan carry across devices and across summers. After that comes the bigger lift: an enrollment platform priced so opt-in camps can actually use it, so signing up doesn't mean re-typing the same information on a dozen forms. We're not committing to dates yet, and the shape depends on what we hear from families and camps.
None of this is set in stone, because the whole point of this page is to ask before we build. If any of it sounds wrong, please tell us.
The plan, in order
- Step 1, done: the directory itself, growing every week.
- Step 2, also done: family accounts, so your saved camps, kids, and plan carry across devices and across summers.
- Step 3, next: camps claiming and owning their listings, with a verified badge so you know the details came straight from the camp.
- Step 4, eventually: an enrollment platform opt-in camps can afford, so signing up doesn't mean re-typing the same information a dozen times.
These are intentions, not promises, and your feedback shapes the order.
Pain points, stories, ideas, everything
What was hard about planning summer, and what would have made it easier? Every submission gets read by one of us, and we'll only get back to you if you say it's okay.
Quick answers
Is the directory free for parents?
Yes, always. We don't sell your data, run ads, or charge parents to use the directory.
Who runs Canopy?
Two local parents, Michael and Kirstie. Email hello@letscanopy.com and one of us will answer.
Will you email me?
Only if you check the box that says it's okay. Even then it's a person writing to you, not a marketing list, because we don't have one.
A camp's info is wrong. What do I do?
Email us or send it through the form above. We'll check with the camp and update the listing. Most camps' info comes from public sources, so the next step in our plan is letting camps own their own listing directly.
Prefer email?
The form is faster, but email works too: hello@letscanopy.com.
