Bookacamp was started in 2015 by software developer Mathias Methner as a sole proprietorship in Hamburg, Germany. The motivation was a recurring observation across the youth travel industry: most camp organisers, class trip providers and youth associations were juggling spreadsheets, paper forms and faxed registrations to manage what were effectively complex, recurring travel products with hundreds of participants, supervisors, parents, providers and payment flows.
The first real live booking went through the system in October 2015. From there, the platform grew steadily with its customers, expanding from a pure booking form into a full operational suite: customer portal, supervisor management, accounting interface, photo gallery, audit module, property management and more.
By 2022 the platform was processing thousands of registrations, payments, questionnaires and emails every day for very large tour operators in Germany and Austria. To match this responsibility, Bookacamp GmbH was founded in April 2022 and took over all business activities from the sole proprietorship in July 2022, with Mathias Methner as managing director.
Mission: give youth travel organisers access to the same operational quality that large enterprise platforms offer — without the price tag and without losing the close, personal contact that the industry depends on.

modular products covering booking, operations, accounting and beyond
Bookacamp is a modular, cloud-hosted platform. Operators activate the modules they need and add more as they grow. Every module is built specifically for organised group travel — not retrofitted from hotel or e-commerce software.
Multi-week summer camps, sports camps, language camps, adventure travel, special-interest camps. Bookacamp handles the full operational stack from inquiry to invoicing.
Per-participant invoicing lets parents pay directly, automated reminders take pressure off teachers and group leaders, and a self-service portal handles consent forms and document uploads.
Recurring camps, training events, retreats and educational programmes managed alongside member administration and volunteer coordination.
Multi-location programmes with structured curricula, accommodation and supervised travel — for example language immersion camps and educational summer schools.
Property management for venues that host both their own programmes and incoming groups. Daily occupancy, room assignment, resource scheduling and house management in one system.
Conference, seminar, workshop and sport-event organisers use the ticketing module to sell tickets online, deliver QR-coded PDF tickets instantly and run app-based check-in at the door. The same booking, payment and invoicing stack as the camp business — no separate ticketing tool needed.
Bookacamp also powers integrations with marketing platforms such as Juvigo, Campfuchs, Klassenfahrten-Kompass, Schneefuchs, Heymundo and Kindaling, so operators can publish their offers across multiple channels.
Every workflow — from supervisor recruitment to age-aware room assignment to per-participant class-trip invoicing — is built around the realities of organised group travel. It is not generic hotel software adapted afterwards.
Bookacamp is led by its founder. Feature requests turn into shipped functionality fast, and customers regularly describe the relationship in terms of personal contact rather than ticket numbers.
Operators start with the booking form and grow into PMS, accounting, audit, gallery, feedback and more as they need them. There is no monolithic "enterprise upgrade" — modules are activated individually.
Pricing is published openly at bookacamp.de/pricing. Customers regularly describe the model as transparent, honest and suitable for organisations of all sizes.
