The camp experience offers a nurturing environment away from distractions, and is a place to satisfy a child’s need for physical activity and creative expression. As a camp counselor myself, I’ve seen how just one week of camp can allow a child to grow as an individual. However, for many children, especially first-time campers, homesickness [...]
Earlier this summer we had a chance to step out of our office in Ann Arbor and visit some of our camps. All of our team members, including our account managers, and those on our web team, support team, and sales team, had a chance to not only tour these camps, but sit down with [...]
By Savanah Litton As a fast growing company, I had a lot of questions about DocNetwork. I recently had the opportunity to sit down with director, Dr. Michael Ambrose, and inquire about his inspirations, passions, and difficulties while starting this amazing business. Where did it all begin? When did you start working on building this [...]
School’s out and it’s finally summer camp season. Although your kids might be relaxing at home, DocNetwork sure isn’t. As an online electronic health records system for schools and camps we’ve been keeping busy, helping making last minute changes for camps, assisting parents with registrations, and stepping out into our community. Last week DocNetwork headed [...]
We're excited to announce that our first research study has been published, and Dr. Michael is a co-author!

It's been cozy over the last year, but we simply can't fit any more CampDoc.com and SchoolDoc.com account managers, support leaders, or web developers into our office at 526 S Maple Rd. Please update your records and direct all future correspondence to: 4750 Venture [...]
Summer is coming to a close. Commercials for back-to-school sales are pervasive, families are back from their vacations, and schools around the nation are re-waxing their tile floors because they will soon be packed with students. For those of us who just got back from camp, the adjustment to school will be especially difficult. It is [...]
It's finally June: you've paid camp fees, filled out all of the necessary forms, and you've been trying your best to collect every item that is on your camp packing list. Congratulations, you are officially a camp parent! Although you may not get the chance to leave behind your responsibilities and frolic outside all day [...]
As a 16-year-old kid, the director of my camp told me that I was “in loco parentis” for 12 children. This is a Latin term meant to describe my responsibility as a counselor: to effectively take on the role of parent for my campers. Parenthood is probably the most vital job on this earth, so [...]
