Initiated a personal passion project aimed at enhancing the experience for parents seeking summer camps in the Portland, Oregon area.

Non-Uniform Camp Data: Overcoming the challenge of non-uniform data for camp details, including varying information on prices, allowed ages, and camp specifics. Standardizing and consolidating these diverse data points proved to be a demanding task.
Data Collection Complexity: Curating accurate and up-to-date camp information required meticulous data collection and verification efforts. Ensuring that parents had reliable and consistent details for informed decisions presented its own set of challenges.
Camp vs. Provider Separation: Opting to separate actual camps from their providers to improve clarity and user experience introduced a significant organizational challenge. Balancing the presentation of individual camps against the backdrop of broader provider offerings required careful navigation.
