Youth Leader Interest

Thank you for taking some time to share more about your child's interest in returning to our youth leader program at our classic Monkey Business Camps. Youth Leaders play such a vital role at camp, assisting the staff in creating the magic, fun and safety our camp is known for! 

This survey is for returning youth leaders only - if your child is new to being a youth leader with us (even if they have been a camper), please fill out this survey instead.

Reminders:
Counselors in Training (CIT): Ages 11+
Junior Counselors (JC): ages 14+ who have been CITs, received positive feedback, and are ready for more responsibility. Sometimes 14 year olds remain in the CIT role to gain more experience and skills. Older CITs may be offered discounted JC mid tier pricing, especially if they have a lot of experience at this and other camps. Parents can request in this survey.

Camp Hours: 8:25-4:35pm, with mid day half hour break; and weekly team meetings, which are usually Tuesday afternoon.
There are fees for this program. For specifics, see camp webpage.  

Question Title

* 1. Parent/Guardian Name

Question Title

* 2. Parent/Guardian email address

Question Title

* 3. Name, date of birth and gender identity of potential youth leader. For example, Peter, 6.2.2008, non-binary, uses they/them pronouns.

Question Title

* 4. Are you interested in your child being a CIT or a JC?

Question Title

* 5. Will they attend with a sibling or siblings or do they want to attend with a friend?  Please note, that we try to group friends together, but not always possible.  Please add more about any details regarding that here.

Question Title

* 6. Which camp sessions do you want to register for? Choose all that apply. If you are unsure about all now, e-mail office@monkeybusinesscamp.com later with any updates. We recommend no more than 6 week sign-ups for youth leaders.

If you do not see a session listed, that means it is full. You can make a note below to be added to the waitlist.

Question Title

* 7. I can commit that my child will attend all dates of camp (they are only on weekdays) if accepted, and will show up on time daily at 8:25 and stay until the end of each day at 4:35 (note, if coming with sibling, it is okay for them both to come 8:30 and leave 4:30).  I will schedule appointments or vacation time after camp hours or on weekends.  Of course, for sickness, they should stay home.

Question Title

* 8. I understand that my child, as a youth leader does not have flexible arrival or pick up times, like campers do. The staff need their assistance at the start and end of the day.

Question Title

* 9. I understand part of the orientation to camp is for my child and myself to read youth leader handbook to help us orient to camp and the youth leader role.  This is for both return and new youth leaders. I understand and will make sure my child fills out a review question survey by Sunday, May 19th or asap if after that time.

Question Title

* 10. Can your child attend the Youth Leader In Person Appreciation and Orient?
Date and Time: Wednesday, May 22nd, 5:15-8:00 (arrival from 5-5:15)
Location: Tilden Meadows site
Youth Leaders will get a chance to tie dye a T-shirt that we will provide, eat a delicious dinner and dessert, pick up their gear, and learn about helping out this summer, our 26th! 
This is highly recommended not to miss, but if you absolutely cannot make it, you can still attend camp as a youth leader and you will orient in other ways, reading the handbook and then once on site at camp.

Question Title

* 11. Older CITs (usually 13+) may be offered mid-tier JC pricing, especially if they have a lot of experience as a youth leader at our camp (or other camps or doing child care/babysitting for groups of kids). Would you like to request that?

If your child does not qualify for Older CIT pricing but you still need financial assistance, please see more details about how to apply, whether you are new to financial aid or if you have received before and would like to receive again this year.

Question Title

* 12. I have received financial aid over the past two years and would like to be considered on the same terms for this program. Click YES, if so. 
There is no need to fill out a new financial aid survey unless your situation has changed and you have a different request. There are times when some sessions become full for financial aid.

Question Title

* 13. Anything else you would like to share that was not covered on this survey?

Question Title

* 14. IMPORTANT FINAL STEP: Please email Zach Bigelow at programs@monkeybusinesscamp.com so he knows that you submitted this and can review your request.  We will get back to you ASAP, and please reach out if you have expected to hear from us and you have not yet.
