✨ Camps: Digital attendance - 05/07/26

❓ What is changing?

You can now record attendance for camp sessions directly in Jackrabbit.

Users can mark students as present or absent for each day of a camp, creating a digital record of camp attendance. Attendance badges provide a quick visual indicator of each student’s attendance status within the session.

💡 Why did Jackrabbit make this change?

Previously, there was no way to track camp attendance directly in Jackrabbit, often leading to paper records or manual workarounds.

This update gives you a more reliable way to maintain attendance records, helping staff keep track of who attended camp sessions.

🛠️ What do I need to do?

1. Go to the Activities menu > Camps.
2. Use the Manage Sessions button to open the Session Details for the camp you are working with.
3. Select the session, then click Take Attendance.
4. Choose the date you are recording attendance for within the session and mark students as either present or absent.
