# Choose the right event setup

## For admins setting up programs: pick the right event type for camps, clinics, lessons, rentals and classes before you build.

Most event problems start at setup: a camp built as a class, a lesson package with no per-session option, a semi-private lesson that only takes one athlete. Use this guide before you build, because some choices are hard to change once people register (see *Fix an event after it's live*).

### Which event type to use

| Program | Event type | Why |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Week-long camp | Fixed schedule | One registration covers all days |
| Camp with days off in the middle | Fixed schedule | Utilize blackout dates when building the event |
| Clinic series (pay for all or per session) | Fixed event with single session purchase | **Allows clients to buy the entire package or one by one** |
| Private lesson | Open booking | Clients pick a time and instructor |
| Semi-private lesson (2–3 athletes) | Open booking | Set max size to 2-3 |
| Cage or lane rental | Open booking | Assign only resources not staff |
| Team practice or league | Team | Roster-based |
| Drop-in class | Class | Recurring schedule, book one at a time |
| Free event with several time slots | Open booking |  |

### What you can change after people register

You can usually change descriptions, images and capacity (upward), price. Changing dates, days or booking type affects people already registered. See *Fix an event after it's live* before you do.
