We want Monkey Business Camp to be accessible to as many families as possible. Running a high-quality, award-winning camp with thoughtful programming and fair teacher pay takes significant resources, but we offer several ways to make tuition manageable:

Flexible Payment Plans

  • Available at no extra cost

  • Spread payments out (sometimes up to 6 months, depending on registration date)

  • Choose a plan at checkout when registering


Financial Aid (20–70% off)

  • For families earning ~$100,000 or less (special circumstances considered)

  • Supported by our scholarship fund, merchandise sales, and families paying at higher tiers

  • Priority consideration for Black, Indigenous, and other families of color, if shared with us

  • Application usually takes about 2 weeks to process

  • Returning families may renew without reapplying if circumstances are unchanged
