Capture the ideas. Choose the work. Ship DeerCamp.
DeerCamp is a legacy engine for camp memory, tradition, and stewardship. This internal tool protects the best ideas we surface, connects growth execution to product decisions, and keeps the next actions visible.
Connected Systems
Keep the tools separate, but let this page act as the hub.
Growth Dashboard
Reads camp records, groups DCF installs by source/campaign, and highlights DC+ conversion potential.
Outreach CRM
Airtable remains the prospect database for taverns, processors, contact data, campaign IDs, and follow-up status.
Membership Playbook
Defines DCF / DC+ / DCP tier strategy, upgrade reasons, pricing logic, and build priorities.
Strategy Ledger
This page captures product ideas, decisions, roadmap direction, active work, and weekly review notes.
Membership Strategy
Keep tier strategy visible without turning the Command Center into the full Membership Playbook.
DCF / Free
A complete starter camp that gets stewards live, invites members, and proves the memory-first value of DeerCamp.
DC+
The operating upgrade: stewardship tools, privacy, roles, rules, planning, maps, support, and cleaner camp management.
DCP
The legacy tier: archive, annual recaps, memory books, timeline/history, recovery, exports, and premium preservation.
Current founder implication
- Prove DCF camp creation from real outreach.
- Activate stewards so camps have members, memories, rules, and useful sections.
- Convert high-intent DCF camps into DC+ before overbuilding DCP.
- Use GSS for high-touch learning and early revenue.

Video Roadmap
| Video | Purpose | Status | Next action |
|---|---|---|---|
| Main Hero / App Video | Explain the product promise and field-to-camp workflow. | In production | Review Fiverr first cut against the core promise and tagline. |
| Shorts Package | Create quick social and listing-friendly cutdowns. | In production | Select 2–3 angles: capture, living archive, not just the hunt. |
| Founder Origin Story | Build trust and explain why DeerCamp exists. | Next | Draft 60–90 second script from Camp Swede, old photos, Deer Books, and the memory-preservation mission. |
| Legacy Series | Develop emotional content around camp history and family tradition. | Next | Pick the first episode theme: Origins, Dad, Traditions, The Crew Years, or Harvest Stories. |

Product Roadmap
The current tool used rigid year/quarter planning. Keep that history below, but operate mainly from Now / Next / Later.
Operating Philosophy
The foundation from the original strategy page stays intact, but is now connected to execution.
Founder Promise
DeerCamp exists to preserve camp memories with respect, privacy, and long-term access. Memories remain owned, protected, and never exploited.
Guiding Principles
- Ship value in small slices.
- Reduce friction in core flows.
- Design for real-world constraints: offline, poor network, older devices, and camp conditions.
- Never let monetization block access to existing memories.
Asset Library
A quick reference for the files, URLs, and artifacts that support execution.
