Your Dashboard at a Glance
The Dashboard is your home base on WorkCampConnect. After logging in, you’ll land here and have quick access to everything the platform offers. Here’s what you’ll find.
Welcome Area
At the top of your Dashboard, you’ll see a personalized greeting with your name and your current membership plan displayed as a badge (Base Camp or Full Hookup). This lets you know at a glance what features are available to you.
Notifications
Your Dashboard has a Notifications area that keeps you informed about important account activity. You'll see up to 5 notifications at a time, with the most recent at the top. Notification types include:
- Welcome message — A greeting when you first join, visible for your first 7 days.
- Support ticket replies — When an admin responds to your support ticket. Click the notification to go directly to your ticket.
- Payment issues — If a subscription payment couldn't be processed. Click to visit your membership page and update your payment method.
- Subscription expiring — A heads-up when your trial or membership is ending soon.
- Subscription renewed — Confirmation that your membership renewed successfully.
Unread notifications are highlighted so you can spot them quickly. If there's nothing new, you'll see “You're all caught up!”
Platform Announcements
Above the notifications area, the Dashboard may show platform announcements from the WorkCampConnect team. These might include new features, scheduled maintenance, community updates, or important notices. You can dismiss announcements by clicking the × button, and bring them back anytime by clicking the “Show platform updates” link.
Activity Feed
Your activity feed shows recent actions on your account, such as:
- Recent logins
- Support ticket updates
- Subscription changes
- Other account activity
Support Tickets
If you’ve submitted any support tickets, you can see their status directly from the Dashboard. Click into a ticket to view the conversation and any replies from our support team.
Sidebar Navigation
The sidebar on the left gives you quick access to every section of the platform:
- Dashboard — Return to your home screen.

Base Camp vs. Full Hookup Dashboard
Both plans have access to the Dashboard, but the features available through the sidebar differ:
- Base Camp members can access the forum (general boards), browse the map and portal, view limited job details, and use the help center.
- Full Hookup members unlock the full experience: exclusive forum boards, full map interaction, unlimited job views, portal downloads, and priority support.
If you’re on Base Camp and want to unlock everything, learn how to upgrade.
