For a class business or drop-in studio that wants marketplace exposure, Sawyer's consumer booking is polished and the marketplace can bring in new families.
For a camp, two structural problems: families pay a booking fee at your own checkout that you cannot waive, and there is no resident-camp layer — no health forms, no bunks, no staff roles. Bunkhouse adds no parent-side fees, has no marketplace by design, and ships the operations layer.
