Why Families Value Our Team
Parents often tell us that our staff are what make camp truly special. They bring creativity, joy, and care to every day. As a result, kids build friendships, explore nature, and feel at home. Many staff first joined us as campers or youth leaders, making our community truly intergenerational.
Seasonal and Year-Round Staff
Alongside our seasonal team, we also have a small, dedicated year-round staff who support camp on-site, in the office, and in operations. In addition, we make it a priority to support these dedicated educators with above-average wages and benefits. Their commitment makes a big difference for kids and community. Staff also receive training in safety, child development, and leadership skills. As a result, they are ready to bring their best to camp every day.
Staff Ratios and Traditions
Our staff-to-camper ratio is about 1:9. This allows staff to give personal attention while still fostering independence. Many staff return year after year, bringing continuity and tradition to Monkey Business Camp. For example, staff love leading special activities, variety shows, and simple, joyful play that campers remember year after year.
