Questions

Questions allow you to collect custom information from theme camp and art leads during registration. Instead of using external forms like Google Forms, Questions are built directly into the Dust registration system.

What Are Questions?

Questions are custom fields that appear in camp and art registration forms. They're kept private between you and the organizer—not shared publicly. For example, you might ask about:

  • Camp size and land requirements
  • Art installation safety requirements
  • Special equipment or power needs
  • Accessibility accommodations
  • Volunteer availability
