All counselors and sports coaches have graduated from high school. They each go through online background checks, reference checks, and are TB tested. Most are CPR and First Aid trained or certified. Most members of our adult staff were either campers at Monarch Camps or work year round with children at a school or after-school program. Communication between groups and counselors is facilitated by Lead Counselors: veteran counselors that embody our belief that campers come first and help guide our counselors to better connect and serve our campers.
