Thank you for your interest in our financial assistance. It is our hope that everyone should be able to participate in our programs which offer unplugged, mostly outdoor fun, with games, art, and other explorations in community. We have options from 20-75% off, not total scholarships. Assistance is limited, since we are a small business, with no outside scholarship funding, so apply as soon as possible. 

Generally, if your family makes over $100,000, we do not give any financial aid.  That said, if you feel that you have a special circumstance, fill out the survey and explain details to us. This is on the honor system and we do not require financial paperwork, but ask that you be honest in your answers. After filling out the survey, email us at office@monkeybusinesscamp.com so we can review your application ASAP.

We will email you with a decision within one week, and give you one week to accept, fill out forms, and either pay the full balance or pay a 35% deposit and set up three monthly installments.

General details including location and hours are on the camp webpage.

Note: For families that have received a scholarship in the past two years, on Question 12, there will be option to name if financial situation is same since you last applied, so less to enter. Please contact our office to let us know if you would prefer a different way to do this, we are wondering if we need to create another form for returning folx, but that means more work on our end, so only if it would make a big difference.
