MONMOUTH COUNTY PARK SYSTEM Odyssey Adventure Camps ...

Frequently-Asked Questions and Concerns
~Continued~
Is tipping allowed?
Tipping Monmouth County Park System employees is against County Park policy. Tipping an
individual at camp is inappropriate because it takes a concerted effort from the entire staff to help
make your camper’s sessions successful. However, if you feel that we have done an outstanding
job, you can make a donation to our Friends of the Parks Scholarship Fund, which enables
urban children the opportunity to enjoy the same camp experience your children do.
How many campers attend each camp?
All camps have a maximum of 12 campers.
There is a minimum of three counselors on each camp.
What happens if my child can not do something?
Odyssey Adventure Camp is a growing experience. There is always a way to be involved
and there is always something they can do.
Michael Brandwein a noted speaker and consultant to the camp profession,
states “What makes camp a special community is its focus on celebrating
effort. In this less pressured atmosphere, children learn more readily what to
say and do when they make mistakes and face challenge.”
