Since 1998, Monkey Business Camp has been all about joy, nature, and community. We believe kids thrive when they feel safe, cared for, and free to explore. Here’s what guides us—and what families say they love most.
🌿 Nature & Outdoor Play
We believe kids thrive when they spend their days outdoors. Our summer programs take place in beautiful picnic areas, where campers spend the day surrounded by fresh air, tall trees, and sunshine. From art and enrichment projects to games, songs, and community time, the outdoors is our classroom.
During school-break camps, we have our same program, but use an indoor base at a local school, while still spending plenty of time outside. Whether indoors or out, nature and play are always at the heart of what we do.
💬 “It is one of the few camps that all three of them agree on and ask to return to year after year. I love that they are outdoors in nature away from devices.” —Parent Review
💛 Caring Staff
Our staff lead with kindness, patience, and joy. Whether it’s supporting a shy camper, resolving a conflict, or sparking laughter, their care makes all the difference.
💬 “The staff was so positive, calm, confident, mindful, unhurried, and extremely nurturing and engaging.” —Parent Review
🌈 Belonging & Growth
Camp is a place to be yourself, make new friends, and feel part of a community. We celebrate differences, support each child’s journey, and encourage confidence that lasts beyond camp.
💬 “Camp was amazing!… just play, make new friends, explore, and be part of a community. It really has a huge impact on feelings of self-worth and confidence.” —Parent Review
🎨 Play & Creativity
Play is the heartbeat of camp. Through games, art, silly songs, and camper-led activities, kids discover their creativity and the joy of just being together.
💬 “Monkey Business is everything a summer camp should be! Silly and fun, yet safe and well-organized.” —Parent Review
✨ The Spirit of Monkey Business
These values shape everything we do—from welcoming new campers, to guiding youth leaders, to caring for our planet as a Certified Green Business. More than 10,000 campers have joined us over the years, and families remind us every day how much these values matter.
