Each new year you will be tasked with setting up a new season as well as new sessions for your camp. This benefits you in the long run because parents will be prompted to select which session their camper is attending when they log into their account. It also shows families that your camp is actively using Bunk1, helping build confidence and trust in your organization. Once sessions are set up, you can easily send updates and notifications to parents who have campers in a specific session, keeping communication clear and organized.
If your organization uses CIRCUITREE, you do not need to manually add your seasons or sessions — these will automatically sync with Bunk1 based on your configuration. Please make sure the “Connect with a Camper” step is included for all events where families will need Bunk1 access. We recommend verifying that the synced information matches what’s in CIRCUITREE.
If anything appears incorrect or incomplete, please contact support@bunk1.com for assistance.

Copying a Session
If you’d like to reuse the same setup for another session, you can use the Copy Session feature.
-
Click on the session title you want to duplicate.
-
In the session editor window, click Copy this session (top right).
-
A new session will be created with the same configuration.
-
Update any details as needed (such as session title or dates).

Click Update Session to save.
💡 Tip: Copying is the fastest way to set up multiple sessions with similar details while keeping consistency.
Deleting a Session
If a session is no longer needed, you can delete it directly from the session editor.

Click on the session title you want to remove.
-
In the session editor window, click Delete this session (top right).
