Monkey Business Camp: Unplugged, Active & Creative Summer Camps

It is so exciting to open our summer season for enrollment! Kids will get to unplug and enjoy the outdoors with a community that’s been blossoming for the last 27 years! Engaging in free choice times with board games, blocks, balls, hoops, art, trees, and nature give kids time to relax, play, and create at their own pace. Structured group walks, games, story telling, singing, art, and nature projects give kids time to connect with peers and socialize while guided by our experienced and playful staff, with youth leaders supporting. Details for Summer Camp are on our website, with some specifics below.
