Short answer
Create a free account at /churches/signup with your camp, group or club's name. On the router at your building or camp, paste your Sheepdog Filter address into the DNS setting and turn IPv6 off. Every phone on that Wi‑Fi is filtered: adult sites, gambling, scams and VPN tricks blocked, with SafeSearch on.
What leaders worry about
A cabin full of teenagers with phones and one Wi‑Fi password. Adult sites, gambling apps and "free VPN" tricks spread fast. You can't watch every screen, but you can make sure the network won't load them.
Set it up
- Create your account with your camp, youth group or club's name.
- While you're on site, tap Set up next to your Wi‑Fi on the dashboard, and paste the DNS address into the router. The church Wi‑Fi guide covers every popular router.
- Turn IPv6 off and save. That's it.
Several buildings or a separate staff lodge? Tap Add a building for each one with its own internet connection, and mark staff devices as grown-up devices so they get scam protection only.
Want it stricter?
For camps where phones should be for calling home only, switch on games and social media blocking in one tap each, or set a schedule so they open only at free time.

Our camp uses a satellite or cellular internet box.
Most of them let you change DNS in their app or admin page. If yours doesn't, a small router of your own behind it (about $50) does the job.
We're a secular club, not a church. Is that fine?
Of course. It's for any group that looks after kids.
