Sound familiar?

  • You're running weekly classes, summer camps, and one-off workshops, and keeping them straight is exhausting
  • Generic booking apps weren't built for session-based camps or recurring studio classes
  • Too many tools for registration, payments, waivers, and parent messages
  • Coordinating instructors, rooms, and rosters across programs is a constant shuffle

There's a better way. ProgramChamp works the way your studio already runs.

Who This Art Studio Software Is For

ProgramChamp is built for art schools and studios that teach kids and adults (paint, draw, ceramics, mixed media, or printmaking) and want one system instead of juggling spreadsheets, paper forms, and payment apps.

  • Solo studio owners who need online registration and billing without enterprise complexity
  • Multi-teacher studios with ongoing classes plus seasonal camps or school-break workshops
  • Studios tired of generic schedulers that don't match how art programs are structured
  • Studios that host paint parties or birthday events and want bookings, payments, and the calendar in the same place as classes and camps

Host paint parties or kids' birthdays at your studio?

Many art studios offer canvas parties, guided painting, or private room rentals for birthdays. If that's part of your business, you shouldn't need a second app just for party bookings.

ProgramChamp handles class and camp registration alongside birthday and party booking: parents can book online, you can collect deposits or full payment, and party events sit alongside your teaching schedule so staff aren't chasing spreadsheets or a separate calendar.

You can also start internal-first: use a shareable party inquiry (embeddable) for leads, set each party package to inquiry-first, instant booking, or both, and convert inquiries to booked parties from the staff inbox, then turn on public online checkout when Stripe Connect and published packages are ready.

Classes and camps stay the core. This is simply there for studios that already (or want to) run parties without doubling admin work.

  • Centralized family information for waivers and communication
  • Built for how parents actually enroll siblings and return each season

Rosters & Attendance

Payments & Registration

  • Online registration and payments for classes and camps
  • Tuition, invoicing, and billing, or one-time camp and workshop fees

Questions art studio owners ask

How do I run summer art camps and weekly kids classes in one registration system?
You set up ongoing weekly sessions for school-year classes and separate summer camp or workshop programs. Parents use online art class registration for each, and you see rosters and schedules in one place instead of one spreadsheet for camps and another for weekly classes.
What is the best software for a small art studio with multiple teachers?
Most owners want art studio management software that covers recurring classes, camp sessions, online payments, parent accounts, and rosters in one workflow. ProgramChamp is built for small-to-mid-sized studios, not a franchise-only platform, so setup stays manageable.
Can parents register more than one kid for art classes in one account?
Yes. Parent accounts can include multiple children, which matters when siblings take different classes or camps. That cuts duplicate forms and keeps guardian contact info consistent.
How do I handle paint parties or birthday bookings without a second app?
ProgramChamp includes birthday party booking software so families can reserve paint parties or canvas parties, pay deposits, and you can keep those events on the same calendar workflow as your art classes and camps. For many studios, no separate party-only tool.
How much does art studio software cost for a local business with one location?
ProgramChamp is $69/month with no per-student fees. Pricing is based on staff logins, not how many kids enroll, so a growing enrollment does not automatically increase your software bill. See pricing for current plans.
I am tired of spreadsheets. How do I track who is enrolled in each art class?
When families enroll online, class rosters and camp rosters stay tied to your programs. You spend less time reconciling Google Sheets and more time teaching.
Does art class registration software support makeup classes when a student misses?
Yes. ProgramChamp supports flexible rescheduling and makeup classes in the same system you use for billing and parent messaging, with no separate makeup tracker.
Is ProgramChamp a Jackrabbit Class or Sawyer alternative for my kids art program?
Many owners compare us when they want a simpler stack. Read art school registration software comparison (ProgramChamp vs Jackrabbit Class, Sawyer, and others) to see how it fits your studio.
