<\/p>\n\ufeffAI-powered search site finds summer camp help for Sacramento parents<\/p>\n
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tSUMMERTIME FOR A LOT OF FAMILIES MEANS SUMMER CAMPS. BUT FINDING THE RIGHT CAMP AT THE RIGHT PRICE AND THE RIGHT TIME CAN BE VERY CHALLENGING FOR PARENTS. BUT THERE IS A LOCALLY OWNED WEBSITE THAT CAN HELP WITH THAT. AND JOINING US IS DJ WALDO, LOCAL DAD AND CO-FOUNDER OF THE WEBSITE SIMPLE SUMMERS.COM. AND THIS IS, YOU KNOW, SIMPLE SUMMERS MAKES PLANNING YOUR SIMPLE. THAT\u2019S RIGHT. AND THAT\u2019S HOW YOU FOUNDED IT SEVERAL YEARS AGO. AND THAT\u2019S HOW YOU CAME UP WITH THE IDEA, RIGHT? YEAH, SURE. YEAH. MY, MY NEIGHBOR AND GOOD FRIEND AND NOW BUSINESS PARTNER, MEGAN PHILLIPS AND I LAUNCHED THE WEBSITE ABOUT EIGHT YEARS AGO BECAUSE DID YOU HAVE TROUBLE FINDING CAMPS FOR YOUR KIDS? YEAH. I MEAN, OUR KIDS AT THE TIME WERE, WELL, SHE\u2019S GOT TWO, I\u2019VE GOT FOUR. AND JUST LIKE GOING ON TO GOOGLE AND TRYING TO FIND A CAMP IS JUST, IT\u2019S A, IT\u2019S A GAME OF HUNT AND PECK AND NOT A FUN ONE. IT\u2019S NOT FUN AT ALL. AND I CAN SAY THIS ALSO FROM HAVING TWO CHILDREN AND EXPERIENCE. BUT YOUR CAMP IS I MEAN, YOUR WEBSITE, IT\u2019S AI POWERED AND YOU CAN LITERALLY GO IN THERE AND PUT WHAT TYPE OF CAMP. THE DATE RANGE, THE PRICE RANGE. AND EVEN IF YOU HAVE, YOU KNOW, DIFFERENT KIDS OF DIFFERENT AGES, AND THEN IT GOES THROUGH EVERYTHING AND IT FINDS IT FOR YOU. YEAH, YEAH. SO THE BEST EXAMPLE I GIVE USUALLY IS IF YOU\u2019RE LOOKING FOR SOCCER AND YOU\u2019VE GOT A 12 YEAR OLD, WELL, YOU COULD GO TO GOOGLE AND LOOK FOR 12 YEAR OLD CAMPS IN SACRAMENTO FOR SOCCER. OR YOU COULD JUST GO TO OUR SITE, SET UP A CAMPER PROFILE, AND THEN YOU LITERALLY SEARCH SOCCER, YOU SEARCH THE DATES YOU WANT AND THE PRICE YOU WANT, AND YOU\u2019LL GO FROM 40 SOCCER CAMPS, LET\u2019S SAY, DOWN TO THE 2 OR 3 THAT FIT YOUR SCHEDULE NOW. BUT WHAT IF YOU HAVE SEVERAL KIDS AT SEVERAL DIFFERENT AGES? YEAH. GREAT QUESTION. SO YOU WOULD SET UP TWO PROFILES PROFILE FOR EACH KID OR IN OUR CASE, FOUR PROFILES FOR KIDS. AND YOU SET UP ALL THOSE DIFFERENT PROFILES AND THEN YOU CLICK ALL OF THEM AT THE SAME TIME, AND YOU CAN SHOW WHICH ONES FIT THE SCHEDULE FOR ALL FOUR OR ALL TWO OR HOWEVER MANY KIDS YOU HAVE. AND SO AI FIGURES IT ALL OUT FOR YOU. IT\u2019S KIND OF THE CHATGPT OF SUMMER CAMP. I LIKE THAT THE CHATGPT OF THAT\u2019S HOW I UNDERSTAND IT. SURE. OR WHATEVER. WHATEVER YOUR PREFERENCE OR WHATEVER, I THINK. YEAH. SO YOU HAVE OVER 500 CAMPS ON YOUR SITE. YEAH, I THINK WE\u2019RE TODAY WE\u2019RE AT ABOUT 3350 OR KIND OF GOING UP. WE\u2019RE ADDING CAMPS EVERY SINGLE DAY. YEAH. SO ANYWHERE FROM SPORTS CAMPS TO STEM CAMPS. AND AGAIN, WE\u2019RE ADDING LITERALLY EVERY DAY YOU GO TO THE WEBSITE, YOU\u2019LL SEE NEW CAMPS UP THERE. WHAT\u2019S THE MOST INTERESTING AND UNIQUE CAMP THAT YOU THAT YOU HAVE ON YOUR SITE? SO I WAS FASCINATING. THE CAMP THAT ALWAYS GETS SEARCHED THE MOST ARE HORSEBACK RIDING CAMPS. YEAH, BECAUSE THAT\u2019S FUN. I WENT TO HORSEBACK RIDING CAMP. REALLY? YEAH. I THINK MOUNTAIN IN GRASS VALLEY, I LOVED IT. SEE, I\u2019M NOT ORIGINALLY FROM CALIFORNIA, SO IT\u2019S MORE OF A CALIFORNIA THING, BUT I JUST THINK IT\u2019S FASCINATING. FIRST OF ALL, THEY TEND TO BE ON THE MORE EXPENSIVE SIDE. YES, BUT THEY GET FILLED UP SO QUICKLY. PEOPLE LOVE HORSEBACK RIDING. YEAH, THEY REALLY DO. AND THIS CAMP, THIS WEBSITE IS FREE FOR PARENTS TO USE, BUT THE CAMPS PAY THE WEBSITE AND THAT\u2019S HOW IT WORKS. YEAH. SO CAMPS HAVE THE OPTION TO PAY FOR PREMIUM LISTINGS. BUT IF YOU DON\u2019T PAY US, WE\u2019RE STILL GOING TO LIST YOU ON THE SITE BECAUSE AGAIN, IT\u2019S A RESOURCE MOSTLY FOR FOR PARENTS. ALL RIGHT. DJ, THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR BEING HERE. WE APPRECIATE IT. SIMPLE SUMMERS.COM. THAT\u2019S RIGHT. RIGHT. AND COMING UP, WE\u2019RE ALSO GOING TO TELL YOU ABO\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n
