How to setup a camping event with 2 part payment option?
We have a client that runs a child after school care STEM program. Monies are due at the time of registration (one month eg in May) and then monthly (starting in Sep) for additional 9mo;

We use webfom civicrm (of course! ) with iATS payments to:

1) sign up for the Event and detemine the participant fee (conditionals factors are age, number of days, time-slots). 2) collect all contact info (parents, emergency contacts, contacts allowed to pick up the child) etc 3) use the recurring series feature in the webform civicrm -> CiviCRM
-> Contributions tab -> to enable that and to expose instalments on the webform 4) so parents can choose to pay now (all up front) or select the monthly option - this automatically creates a monthly recurring contribution with first charge now. 5) an administrator changes the next scheduled date for the recurring series to Sep 01 (so second instalment will be in Sep) 6) if you have a lot of recurring series then you can use views and civicrm entity and views bulk operations to contruct a view in which you can update multiple next scheduled dates in bulk.
