.CAMP Domain Extension

Why choose a .CAMP domain?

The word covers two realities with almost nothing in common. There is camping: a field, a tent, somebody pitching for themselves for a few nights. And there is camp — day camp, summer camp, training camp — where parents hand a child to strangers for a whole week. The second demands vastly more reassurance than the first, and your site has to know which one it serves.

The campsite

Pitches, hook-ups, booking, season, whether dogs are welcome. A camper wants to know about electricity and how far the facilities are.

The summer camp

Age groups, staff ratios, the day’s shape, lunch, trips out. A parent reads safety first, the programme second, the price third.

The staff

Training, first aid, background checks, experience. The page that decides, and far too often the one that is missing.

Booking

When booking opens, weeks available, the waiting list. Popular camps fill in a single February morning.

The training camp

Sport, music, science, languages, several days of immersion. A third sense of the word, widely used and perfectly clear.

What it actually changes

• Two very different markets. Pitching a tent or handing over a child: the burden of trust is not remotely the same.
• The word is identical in French. Four letters, the same senses in both languages, nothing to adapt.
• No registration restrictions. No accreditation or operating licence to show the registrar.
• It works as an email address too. bookings@pinewood.camp absorbs the February rush without clogging everything else.
