How to “WIN” with the WinShape Camps App
Do you know the “Happy Cheer?” Made famous by our founder S. Truett Cathy when he would visit his Chick-fil-A Franchises, the “Happy Cheer” is deeply ingrained in the WinShape Camps DNA. It starts out when someone yells to a crowd “Is Everybody Happy?!”
Everyone in the group then responds “YEAH MAN!” Then everyone spells it out—H-A-P-P-Y!
We’re all about making people happy at camp—and this year, we’ve made it even easier with an updated WinShape Camps App.
Here’s how the WinShape Camp App helps you WIN before, during, and after your camper’s session!
🧳 Before Camp: Getting Ready with Confidence
Getting your camper ready can feel like a lot—but the app makes it simple. Head to the “Get Ready” section to find:
An abbreviated version of the Get Ready Guide (contains packing lists, Waldo Photos information, medical information, and more.)
The 2025 Theme Song + Music Video 🎶
A sneak peek at your Camp-Wide Events and how to pack for them. (Overnight Camps)
Details about the Raving Fan Parking Lot competition!
🚗 The First Day of Camp
Called “Spectacular Starting Sunday” at Overnight Camp locations, we’ve put a few things in this section that will help you get to camp! The biggest to highlight is what’s called our “Arrival Track” and “Parent Departure Track!”
Arrival Track – A fun, and extra-special message from your camp directors to listen to as your drive to camp for drop-off
Parent Departure Track – A special message just for you (parents) after you drop off your camper 💛
Let these tracks walk with you through those emotional “hellos” and “see-you-soons.”
📸 During Camp: Staying Connected
Once your camper’s all checked in, let’s be honest—you’ll be hunting for photos. Each day around lunchtime, our photographers upload the previous day’s highlights to Waldo, our secure photo platform.
You’ve got options:
$9.99/week or $14.99 for two weeks – Get text alerts when your camper appears!
Or, just browse the Waldo Photo Gallery from the app whenever you want.
Either way, the app makes it easy to feel close to your camper—even when they’re deep in the adventure. (pst!.. the join code can be found in your Get Ready Guide)
🎉 Friday Family Fun Day
We love ending the week with a family celebration! Friday Family Fun Day is an in-person experience for the whole family! We hope that your family can join in on the fun too.
In the app, you’ll find:
Your camper’s Session Recap Video
A link to Share Your WinShape Story
Details about special events like WinShape Night at the Braves
Mark your calendar and get ready for some fun with your camper and their new friends!
