kiddinglab

Create a prefilled checkout link for 1-6 bookable sessions (booking_mode native) and share it with the parent. This is a shopping-list prefill, NOT a reservation: no spots are held, and the parent signs in, names their campers, signs waivers, and pays on kiddinglab.com. The response totals are in US dollars: total_usd is the camps' prices, parent_total_usd is what the parent pays before tax, including Kiddinglab's 1.5% service fee (service_fee_total_usd) — quote parent_total_usd. Sessions registered on the camp's own platform (booking_mode platform_deeplink), stale platform reports and full sessions are refused with their registration_url — send the parent there instead. Never include child names or other personal information. The link expires in 24 hours.

Look up camps by camp or organization name when the parent already knows (roughly) what the camp is called. Tolerates misspellings. Returns matching camps ranked by similarity — use get_camp_details on a result for sessions, prices, and availability. For discovery by area, use search_camps instead.

Get the refund policy, payment schedule, waiver requirement, and platform payment facts for one session, including what the parent pays: parent_price_usd (and parent_deposit_usd) include Kiddinglab's 1.5% service fee, before tax; price_usd is the camp's own price. Parents review, sign, and pay on kiddinglab.com — assistants only prepare the choice.

Get the full profile of one camp: description, organizer, parent rating, and its sessions with dates, the camp's listed prices (US dollars, price_usd_min/max), registration_status, bookability and booking_mode (native | platform_deeplink | listing_only; platform_deeplink sessions carry the platform's registration_url and reported availability_status). Sessions bookable on kiddinglab.com also carry parent_price_usd — the price the parent pays before tax, including Kiddinglab's 1.5% service fee (service_fee_usd). Sessions from the last 12 months are included — check session_status (ended/in_progress/upcoming) before recommending. data_freshness says how recently the listing was verified. Use the camp_id returned by search_camps.

Check live bookability, pricing (US dollars), remaining spots, and refund policy for up to 20 sessions at once. price_usd / deposit_usd are the camp's own prices; for sessions booked on kiddinglab.com, parent_price_usd / parent_deposit_usd are what the parent pays before tax, including Kiddinglab's 1.5% service fee (service_fee_usd) — quote those to parents. booking_mode says where the parent registers: native (kiddinglab.com checkout, create_booking_handoff), platform_deeplink (the camp's own registration platform at registration_url, with the platform-reported availability.status, fetched_at and stale flag), listing_only (the camp's own website at registration_url).

Search kids' camp sessions in the Washington DC / Maryland / Virginia area by location, dates, ages, categories, and price. Location is required: pass a 5-digit ZIP code (or lat+lon, or city+state). With start_date/end_date, results are individual sessions (10 per page); without dates, results are one representative upcoming session per camp location (result_grain says which). Each result includes the camp's listed prices in US dollars (price_usd_min/max), registration_status, data_freshness (how recently the listing was verified), and a canonical kiddinglab.com URL; sessions bookable on kiddinglab.com (booking_mode native) also carry parent_price_usd — the price the parent pays before tax, including Kiddinglab's 1.5% service fee (service_fee_usd).
