“Our child has made lifelong memories at Monkey Business. There is a great mix of activities suited for kids that are introverted and extroverted. We have been coming for years and plan for many more!

We have been offering camps in the Bay Area since 1998, so this is our 26th year!  Voted Best Camp of the East Bay by Bay Area Parent in 2024, as well as Best Winter Camp by Oakland Magazine in 2024.
