.camp Domains: Campsites and Intensive Programmes
.camp entered the root zone on 12 December 2013, and the IANA record names Binky Moon, LLC as the sponsoring organisation. The word covers two different lines of work at once: outdoor accommodation, caravan and tent sites on one side, and concentrated programmes such as summer camps, sports camps and coding bootcamps on the other. That dual reading opens the ending to a wider audience than expected.
No published eligibility condition could be verified, so a campsite operator and an organisation running a children's programme apply on the same terms. The decision rule concerns the calendar: if the business concentrates into a season, have the address ready before enrolment opens, because promotion and sign-ups compress into the same weeks. Test candidates with a domain name search.

.camp Domain Lifecycle
What happens day by day after it expires
Day 0 is the domain's expiry dateIn short: your .camp domain is put on Client Hold on its expiry date, so the site and e-mail stop that same day. You can still renew during the first 20 days, but from this point a late renewal fee is added on top of the renewal price. On day 20 the registration is deleted and until day 50 only a paid restore brings it back. Nothing at all can be done in the 5 days that follow, and on day 55 the name is open to anyone. There is exactly one way never to enter this chain: keep auto-renewal on.
Domain Is Available (Available)
A .camp address at this stage has not been taken yet, and it goes to whoever registers first. Check the name you have in mind — if it is free, it can be yours within minutes.
Domain Is Active (Active Period)
Once registration is complete, the domain is registered to you for the term you selected. You can renew at any point before it expires to keep it active, or switch on auto-renewal so you never have to watch the date.
Renewal Window (Client Hold)
On its expiry date your .camp domain is put on Client Hold: the site and e-mail go down that day, but the registration is still yours. A single renewal within these first 20 days brings everything back exactly as it was — nothing is lost. The only difference is that a $11.12 late renewal fee is now added to the renewal price; renewing before the expiry date avoids that fee entirely.
Redemption Period (Redemption / RGP)
On day 20 the registration is deleted and the 30-day redemption period that ICANN requires of every gTLD registry begins. The name is not released to anyone during this time; only you can take it back, by paying the restore fee, until day 50. That fee is far higher than a renewal — renewing on time is always the cheaper route.
Pending Delete (Pending Delete)
Once the redemption window closes too, the domain enters its final 5 days and there is no way back. Neither renewal nor restore works here; nobody — your registrar included — can return the name to you. The registry uses this window as the last hold before the name goes back into the pool.
Open to Anyone Again (Released)
On day 55 the name .camp returns to the pool and anyone can register it. Sought-after names are often gone within seconds, and there is no guaranteed way to get one back. Yet staying out of this timeline is entirely in your hands: leave auto-renewal on and the expiry date will never catch you off guard.
The timeline above is the schedule Atak Domain applies and publishes. The ICANN chart you will find elsewhere shows a renewal window of up to 45 days after expiry; ICANN's policy on expired registrations (section 2.2.1) lets registrars delete an expired domain at any time, provided they disclose their policy in advance. We apply that window as 20 days and publish it here in plain sight. Full text of the policy: ICANN Expired Registration Recovery Policy

Frequently Asked Questions About .camp Domains
The questions people actually ask before registering — answered plainly.
-
Yes — the word covers intensive training programmes too, and that use is well established. On software, design, language and entrepreneurship programmes the address implies duration and pace, and participants expect something short and demanding. If the programme is really a long-form school, that implication misleads. Adding the subject to the root removes the ambiguity from the start.
-
No published eligibility condition could be verified; the name appears open on a first-come basis. No tourism operating licence, permit letter or institutional registration is requested, and the ordering flow carries no extra approval step. Running a campsite or a programme for children, on the other hand, is licensed and inspected in many countries. That obligation arises from the activity, not the domain.
-
Account for the crush that arrives the hour registration opens. Where places are limited, visitors hit the form in the same minute; a slow page leaves sign-ups half-finished and pushes the load onto your phone line. Keep the form lean, cache static pages and run a load test before the season. Choose suitable capacity on the hosting page.
-
An encrypted connection is the first and non-negotiable requirement. The enrolment form collects a parent's name, a phone number, medical notes and sometimes identity details, and over an unencrypted connection all of that travels in the open. Limit the fields you collect to what is genuinely needed and set a retention period up front. Install from the SSL certificate page and verify it with an SSL checker.
-
Yes, the extension is transferable. You remove the lock, collect the authorisation code and start the request at the new registrar; the name is expected not to have been registered or transferred in the previous 60 days. Moving out of season is the safest route, because during enrolment any interruption converts directly into lost places. Run it from the domain transfer page.
