Access

  • Pass
    Open access

    tools/list succeeded with no credential, and the record declares none.

Capabilities

Tools 7

get_camp

Get one camp by its id from search_camps (e.g. "california/camp-kennolyn") or its page URL: its facts, the programs its directory listing publishes, and — for a camp parents are watching — each session's live open/full status as last read from the camp's own registration page, with when it was read. Status can lag; registration and any seat are only ever on the camp's own site.

Discovered
get_page

Read one public Camp Notice page as markdown — its full prose, key points, any step-by-step guide, and its FAQ. Takes a path from list_pages, e.g. "/pricing" or "/watch".

Discovered
get_pricing

Get what Camp Notice costs: one price, per camp, paid once — no subscription and no tiers. Read from the same constant the site prints, so it is never a stale quote.

Discovered
list_camp_states

List the US states the camp directory covers, each with how many camps it lists. Use a state code from here as the "state" filter of search_camps.

Discovered
list_pages

List every public Camp Notice page — home, the watch wizard, pricing, and the policies — with its path, title and one-line description. Start here, then read one with get_page.

Discovered
search_camps

Search the summer camp directory by camp name or town, optionally within a state and by type (day, overnight, family). Returns each camp's id, town, ages, accreditation, its page, and watchUrl — the link a parent opens to get emailed when a seat opens. "watched: true" means live session status is available from get_camp.

Discovered
search_docs

Search Camp Notice pages and FAQs by keyword — waitlist, full camp, alerts, pricing — and get back the matching pages with the passage that matched.
