Checking Your Camp for Errors

How embarrassing! A boy in a girls cabin or a girl in a boy’s cabin. TACO will not prevent you from such blunders if you want to. After all, it’s your career.

However, TACO will tell you when such things occur and you have the option to change them. Camp error checking is available in the Print Reports screen in the Camp Check tab as well in the following screens:

  • Current Camper screen – on the right is a camp “Match” field. TACO checks the Camper’s camp against the cabin’s camp. A mismatch is displayed with the word “Camp.” 

  • Camper-cabin gender - TACO checks the Camper’s gender against the cabins gender. A mismatch is flagged with the word “Gender.”

  • Cabin Gender Mismatch Check found on the Current Campers screen and in the Print Reports / Camp tab identifies Campers in the wrong gendered cabin. (Selected checking can be done from a variety of screens. For instance, you can check for cabin/camper gender mismatches in the Current Campers screen)

  • Cabin Check – allows you to verify the occupants of each cabin. An overcrowded condition is flagged with “Too many occupants.” 

  • Check Counts screen lists each cabin, the numbers of Campers assigned to the cabin and the number of counselors. An over crowded condition is flagged.

  • Cabins and Counselors screen (available from the Counselor Information screen) flags mismatches between Counselor camp level (Camp) and Counselor gender and cabin gender (Gender).

  • Color Team Check – allows you to identify multiple Camper family members on the same team. 

  • Cabin Occupancy report flags a cabin with too many campers.
